Getting Started with NPM (as a developer)

If you haven't already set your NPM author info, now you should:

npm set init.author.name "Your Name"
npm set init.author.email "[email protected]"
npm set init.author.url "http://yourblog.com"

npm adduser

Then create a package.json and publish it:

cd /path/to/your-project
npm init

npm install -g pakmanager
# this shows you dependencies as you `require`d them
pakmanager deps
# now edit `package.json` and add any deps you forgot about

npm publish ./

Appendix:

If you haven't already installed npm, or you'd like the latest version:

OS X

curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

Linux

curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh
