I need to install lodash.filter to my Expo (React Native) project.
How should I do it using npm?
1.
npm i -g npm
npm i --save lodash.filter
npm i --save lodash.filter
I do not understand what npm i -g npm (it's updating something, but I think it will destroy my project).
$ npm i -g npm
$ npm i --save lodash
you can use second command.
npm i is the alias for the npm install and -g means gloabal
The -g or --global argument will cause npm to install the package globally rather than locally
npm install (in package directory, no arguments):
Install the dependencies in the local node_modules folder.
Just follow the command that are written in documentation it will be fine
The --save option instructed NPM to include the package inside of the dependencies section of your package.json automatically, thus saving you an additional step.

npm install #uiw/react-monacoeditor --save
VS
npm i #uiw/react-monacoeditor
What is the difference between following npm install statements when to use --save flag?
Currently they will not differ at all. Since NPM 5 packages are automatically saved into package.json dependencies when installed.
npm I is the short version of npm install so that part of the command does not differ at all either.
You can read more about the install command here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-install
And there is does say “ npm install saves any specified packages into dependencies by default.”
im trying to install expo-cli for react native project on ubuntu using npm i tried npm install -g expo-cli but it doesn't work for me always the same error :npm WARN deprecated request#2.88.2: request has been deprecated.
First try to clear cache:
npm cache verify
then,
npm install -g expo-cli
OR
Add expo through yarn instead of npm,
npm install -g yarn
then,
yarn global add expo-cli
and you are good to go.
I have the following package installed globally via npm:
+-- gulp-cli#2.0.1 (github:gulpjs/gulp-cli#4782b9a582ce7cc7e009073705a565b57d235332)
I have tried to uninstall it like so...
npm uninstall gulp-cli#2.0.1
But it does not remove it. How can I get this package removed from my global location?
I'm on npm version 6.1.0
Thanks to R. Wanjohi I figured it out for my machine. I had to do the following to get the global version of gulp cli off my machine:
npm rm -g gulp-cli
I was experiencing the same problem but when I used the following code, it worked:
npm rm -g gulp
You need to uninstall it globally (add the -g tag)
npm uninstall -g gulp-cli#2.0.1
Here is the npm docs: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/uninstall.html
it's pretty simple, to uninstall a global package run
npm uninstall -g <package-name>
to verify run
npm ls -g --depth=0
for short videos
I'm writing a npm package, I'd like the package to update package.json file in the installed folder, say:
npm install mypackage
this installs mypackage, and also read the package.json in the folder where npm install is run, and write some entries, possible?
Thanks,
npm i -g npm-check-updates
npm-check-updates -u
npm install
or for a specific package, you may change dependency version and then
npm update --save
What is the difference between npm -g(global) install and npm --save?
First gulp install -g and --save first, then for other projects:
npm i gulp --save-dev Can I just use this command?
I don't know the basic difference between them?
npm -g will install packages globally (to npm cached folder), normally in AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules if you're using Windows, while npm --save or --save-dev will install package directly to your node_modules directory in your project and add package to your packages.json for later purpose.
