# npm - a JavaScript package manager [](https://npm.im/npm) [](https://npm.im/npm) [](https://github.com/npm/cli/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](https://github.com/npm/cli/actions/workflows/benchmark.yml) ### Requirements One of the following versions of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) must be installed to run **`npm`**: * `18.x.x` >= `18.17.0` * `20.5.0` or higher ### Installation **`npm`** comes bundled with [**`node`**](https://nodejs.org/), & most third-party distributions, by default.

You can read more about configuring third-party registries [here](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/using-npm/registry) ### FAQ on Branding #### Is it "npm" or "NPM" or "Npm"? **`npm`** should never be capitalized unless it is being displayed in a location that is customarily all-capitals (ex. titles on `man` pages). #### Is "npm" an acronym for "Node Package Manager"? Contrary to popular belief, **`npm`** **is not** in fact an acronym for "Node Package Manager"; It is a recursive bacronymic abbreviation for **"npm is not an acronym"** (if the project was named "ninaa", then it would be an acronym). The precursor to **`npm`** was actually a bash utility named **"pm"**, which was the shortform name of **"pkgmakeinst"** - a bash function that installed various things on various platforms. If **`npm`** were to ever have been considered an acronym, it would be as "node pm" or, potentially "new pm".
