-<p>So, you've decided to use npm to develop (and maybe publish/deploy)
-your project.</p>
-<p>Fantastic!</p>
-<p>There are a few things that you need to do above the simple steps
-that your users will do to install your program.</p>

-<p>A package is:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>a) a folder containing a program described by a package.json file</li>
-<li>b) a gzipped tarball containing (a)</li>
-<li>c) a url that resolves to (b)</li>
-<li>d) a <code class="language-text">&lt;name&gt;@&lt;version&gt;</code> that is published on the registry with (c)</li>
-<li>e) a <code class="language-text">&lt;name&gt;@&lt;tag&gt;</code> that points to (d)</li>
-<li>f) a <code class="language-text">&lt;name&gt;</code> that has a "latest" tag satisfying (e)</li>
-<li>g) a <code class="language-text">git</code> url that, when cloned, results in (a).</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Even if you never publish your package, you can still get a lot of
-benefits of using npm if you just want to write a node program (a), and
-perhaps if you also want to be able to easily install it elsewhere
-after packing it up into a tarball (b).</p>
-<p>Git urls can be of the form:</p>
-<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="bash"><pre class="language-bash"><code class="language-bash">git://github.com/user/project.git<span class="token comment">#commit-ish</span>
-git+ssh://user@hostname:project.git<span class="token comment">#commit-ish</span>
-git+http://user@hostname/project/blah.git<span class="token comment">#commit-ish</span>
-git+https://user@hostname/project/blah.git<span class="token comment">#commit-ish</span></code></pre></div>
-<p>The <code class="language-text">commit-ish</code> can be any tag, sha, or branch which can be supplied as
-an argument to <code class="language-text">git checkout</code>.  The default is <code class="language-text">master</code>.</p>

-<p>You need to have a <code class="language-text">package.json</code> file in the root of your project to do
-much of anything with npm.  That is basically the whole interface.</p>
-<p>See <a href="../../configuring-npm/package-json"><code class="language-text">package.json</code></a> for details about what goes in that file.  At the very
-least, you need:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>
-<p>name:
-This should be a string that identifies your project.  Please do not
-use the name to specify that it runs on node, or is in JavaScript.
-You can use the "engines" field to explicitly state the versions of
-node (or whatever else) that your program requires, and it's pretty
-well assumed that it's JavaScript.</p>
-<p>It does not necessarily need to match your github repository name.</p>
-<p>So, <code class="language-text">node-foo</code> and <code class="language-text">bar-js</code> are bad names.  <code class="language-text">foo</code> or <code class="language-text">bar</code> are better.</p>
-</li>
-<li>version:
-A semver-compatible version.</li>
-<li>engines:
-Specify the versions of node (or whatever else) that your program
-runs on.  The node API changes a lot, and there may be bugs or new
-functionality that you depend on.  Be explicit.</li>
-<li>author:
-Take some credit.</li>
-<li>scripts:
-If you have a special compilation or installation script, then you
-should put it in the <code class="language-text">scripts</code> object.  You should definitely have at
-least a basic smoke-test command as the "scripts.test" field.
-See <a href="../../using-npm/scripts">scripts</a>.</li>
-<li>main:
-If you have a single module that serves as the entry point to your
-program (like what the "foo" package gives you at require("foo")),
-then you need to specify that in the "main" field.</li>
-<li>directories:
-This is an object mapping names to folders.  The best ones to include are
-"lib" and "doc", but if you use "man" to specify a folder full of man pages,
-they'll get installed just like these ones.</li>
-</ul>
-<p>You can use <code class="language-text">npm init</code> in the root of your package in order to get you
-started with a pretty basic package.json file.  See <a href="../../cli-commands/npm-init"><code class="language-text">npm init</code></a> for
-more info.</p>

-<p>Use a <code class="language-text">.npmignore</code> file to keep stuff out of your package.  If there's
-no <code class="language-text">.npmignore</code> file, but there <em>is</em> a <code class="language-text">.gitignore</code> file, then npm will
-ignore the stuff matched by the <code class="language-text">.gitignore</code> file.  If you <em>want</em> to
-include something that is excluded by your <code class="language-text">.gitignore</code> file, you can
-create an empty <code class="language-text">.npmignore</code> file to override it. Like <code class="language-text">git</code>, <code class="language-text">npm</code> looks
-for <code class="language-text">.npmignore</code> and <code class="language-text">.gitignore</code> files in all subdirectories of your
-package, not only the root directory.</p>
-<p><code class="language-text">.npmignore</code> files follow the <a href="https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository#Ignoring-Files">same pattern rules</a>
-as <code class="language-text">.gitignore</code> files:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>Blank lines or lines starting with <code class="language-text">#</code> are ignored.</li>
-<li>Standard glob patterns work.</li>
-<li>You can end patterns with a forward slash <code class="language-text">/</code> to specify a directory.</li>
-<li>You can negate a pattern by starting it with an exclamation point <code class="language-text">!</code>.</li>
-</ul>
-<p>By default, the following paths and files are ignored, so there's no
-need to add them to <code class="language-text">.npmignore</code> explicitly:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><code class="language-text">.*.swp</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">._*</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">.DS_Store</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">.git</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">.hg</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">.npmrc</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">.lock-wscript</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">.svn</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">.wafpickle-*</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">config.gypi</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">CVS</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">npm-debug.log</code></li>
-</ul>
-<p>Additionally, everything in <code class="language-text">node_modules</code> is ignored, except for
-bundled dependencies. npm automatically handles this for you, so don't
-bother adding <code class="language-text">node_modules</code> to <code class="language-text">.npmignore</code>.</p>
-<p>The following paths and files are never ignored, so adding them to
-<code class="language-text">.npmignore</code> is pointless:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><code class="language-text">package.json</code></li>
-<li><code class="language-text">README</code> (and its variants)</li>
-<li><code class="language-text">CHANGELOG</code> (and its variants)</li>
-<li><code class="language-text">LICENSE</code> / <code class="language-text">LICENCE</code></li>
-</ul>
-<p>If, given the structure of your project, you find <code class="language-text">.npmignore</code> to be a
-maintenance headache, you might instead try populating the <code class="language-text">files</code>
-property of <code class="language-text">package.json</code>, which is an array of file or directory names
-that should be included in your package. Sometimes a whitelist is easier
-to manage than a blacklist.</p>

-<p><strong>This is important.</strong></p>
-<p>If you can not install it locally, you'll have
-problems trying to publish it.  Or, worse yet, you'll be able to
-publish it, but you'll be publishing a broken or pointless package.
-So don't do that.</p>
-<p>In the root of your package, do this:</p>
-<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="bash"><pre class="language-bash"><code class="language-bash"><span class="token function">npm</span> <span class="token function">install</span> <span class="token builtin class-name">.</span> -g</code></pre></div>
-<p>That'll show you that it's working.  If you'd rather just create a symlink
-package that points to your working directory, then do this:</p>
-<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="bash"><pre class="language-bash"><code class="language-bash"><span class="token function">npm</span> <span class="token function">link</span></code></pre></div>
-<p>Use <code class="language-text">npm ls -g</code> to see if it's there.</p>
-<p>To test a local install, go into some other folder, and then do:</p>
-<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="bash"><pre class="language-bash"><code class="language-bash"><span class="token builtin class-name">cd</span> <span class="token punctuation">..</span>/some-other-folder
-<span class="token function">npm</span> <span class="token function">install</span> <span class="token punctuation">..</span>/my-package</code></pre></div>
-<p>to install it locally into the node_modules folder in that other place.</p>
-<p>Then go into the node-repl, and try using require("my-thing") to
-bring in your module's main module.</p>

-<p>Create a user with the adduser command.  It works like this:</p>
-<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="bash"><pre class="language-bash"><code class="language-bash"><span class="token function">npm</span> adduser</code></pre></div>
-<p>and then follow the prompts.</p>

-<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="bash"><pre class="language-bash"><code class="language-bash"><span class="token function">npm</span> publish</code></pre></div>
-<p>You can give publish a url to a tarball, or a filename of a tarball,
-or a path to a folder.</p>
-<p>Note that pretty much <strong>everything in that folder will be exposed</strong>
-by default.  So, if you have secret stuff in there, use a
-<code class="language-text">.npmignore</code> file to list out the globs to ignore, or publish
-from a fresh checkout.</p>
