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

   • versions older than npm 5, use the local-npm package

   • npm install --prefer-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

1. 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
