npm, Inc. is a company founded in 2014, and was acquired by GitHub in 2020. npm is a critical part of the JavaScript community and helps support one of the largest developer ecosystems in the world. npm is lots of things. npm is the package manager for Node.js. It was created in 2009 as an open source project to help JavaScript developers easily share packaged modules of code. The npm Registry is a public collection of packages of open-source code for Node.js, front-end web apps, mobile apps, robots, routers, and countless other needs of the JavaScript community. npm is the command line client that allows developers to install and publish those packages. We're GitHub, the company behind the npm Registry and npm CLI. We offer those to the community for free, but our day job is building and selling useful tools for developers like you. Relied upon by more than 17 million developers worldwide, npm is committed to making JavaScript development elegant, productive, and safe. The free npm Registry has become the center of JavaScript code sharing, and with more than two million packages, the largest software registry in the world. Our other tools and services take the Registry, and the work you do around it, to the next level.
