NPM: Basic Terminal Commands

I often forget the most used NPM commands so I’m just gonna write them here instead:

1. List NPM Packages:

npm ls -g --depth=0

2. Find Outdated Packages:

npm outdated -g --depth=0

3. Install or Update Packages:

npm install -g package-name

4. Update NPM Package ONLY*

npm install npm@latest -g

5. Update All Packages At Once**

npm update -g

6. Delete Packages

npm uninstall -g package-name

*Updating the NPM package doesn’t always work with the command above. In that case, the same command to update regular packages may work.

**This command updates all your installed packages with the exception of NPM, therefore, use command #4
