Package manager tips

2018-03-26

Initially I was just going to post about how to install npm packages while offline, but in case I ever come back to update this page with more tips or package manages, this post is now titled “Package manager tips”.

npm tips

  1. Configure initial values for npm init -y

    • npm config set init.author.name YOUR_NAME
      npm config set init.author.email YOUR_EMAIL
      npm config set init.license UNLICENSED
      
  2. Installing a package offline

  3. Update a package, e.g. Angular CLI

    • npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
      npm cache verify
      
      for before npm5:
      npm cache clean
      
    • npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
      

yarn tips
