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

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

Installing a package offline
- versions older than npm 5, use the local-npm package
- ```
npm install --prefer-offline
```

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

Configure initial values for yarn init -y

yarn config set init-author-name YOUR_NAME
yarn config set init-author-email YOUR_EMAIL
yarn config set init-license UNLICENSED
