NPM Crash Course 

Guys, you do not need to do --save anymore with NPM 5+

You dont need a bootcamp or a paid course ! you only need Brad Traversy to become a web developer

npm init - Initialize package.json file npm run - run the scripts npm install - install packages npm remove - remove packages npm update - update packages npm config - config package.json file npm list - show all your packages -save - dependencies on your project -save-dev - dependencies only for development -g - install package globally -production - initialize package.json only with -save delpendencies

I have to say Brad, I've only recently started watching your videos but already I'm a huge fan. Your style is very easy to follow and even with more in-depth stuff it is very easy to learn as I watch, so well done!

I love the video, Brad. Thanks again for explaining a previously confusing topic so easily and clearly. My NPM confidence level is over 9000 now!

It's 2021 and this npm tutorial video is still good to learn, thankyou bro

Things become much easier if someone can explain them in a simple manner, so that even a beginner can understand...thanks Brad ! ...keep on the great work.

Feb 2023 update: You do not need to use `npm install --save [packagename]` anymore. Just `npm install [packagename]` does the same thing. `--save` is not needed anymore. Similarly instead of `npm install --save-dev [packagename]`, do `npm install -D [packagename]`

Learn something new every time. I didn't know how to set the default properties in NPM init

When I have issues with electron Brad puts out a video. When npm has been giving me grief the past week, Brad puts out another video. HE'S A WIZARD

You know what others have that you don't have? Complexity! Yeah, man! That is compliment!!! Your teachings are straight to the point and easy to understand!

your crash courses are just an awesome way to get familiar with things before diving into detail...thanks a lot🤗

Man, all I have to say is this crash course was EXCELLENT! I was totally lost with NPM and now I have a better understanding. Thank you so much! Smiles ☺

This is the only real NPM tutorial on RU-vid, I am watching this on my smart TV using Chromecast ⚘😘

This is the best video for learning NPM, hands down. Absolutely no need for any other npm tutorial when this video exists..

Thank you very much for this video. Before watching this video, i used to switch to new linux distro, everytime just because i wasn't able update or remove global packages. You saved me from that big hassle.

I really like the way you present/go through the videos. I understand and learn with much ease. Watching your videos I can learn in one hour, what the thing is/is it useful/ will it be of use to me/should I learn about it further. I do not know what type of programmer, I am currently, but my type finds it easier to learn from you, about the things you are teaching.

I am still watching at 19.28 and thought I am ready to post a comment. A big thank you for this video. its very clear, explains exactly the stuff that I have been really concerned with and have been searching for months. You are a life saver. subscribed.

among all the people that make free courses and stuff relating to programming here in yt... dude, you're one of the bests! Thanks for all your videos

I am new to web development and your channel has actually been my school Thanks a lot.. Please we'd love it if you could make a tutorial for beginners on how contents like articles could be uploaded to a website without directly accessing the html pages .. I know this sunds foolish but it's baffling to beginners ..

Maannn you've done tutorials in almost everything for full-stack devs Thanks for everything sir.

Little tip: If you use "npx" instead of "npm" you use the package just once. So, with things you don't use that often, like a Yeoman generator, you don't bloat your system.

It is so important that Mean Stack Developers should understand the structure of NPM... Thanks Brad

Brad Traversy's videos are all I need in my life.

I've been learn react native almost 8 month, and still confuse, now i found this tutorial, and I could clearly understand it for 42 menit.....thanks master brad😍😍😍😍

Thank you so much. You probably explain concepts better than anyone on RU-vid.

Thank you very much for this Crash Course. Anyway a lot of people, including me, still encounters difficulties when it comes to such technologies as npm and webpack. I hope that in 2022 you will provide us a pre-React Project Course in which we will get more familiarize with npm, webpack technology, after which it would be much easier to start studying React. Thank you very much for your work, you are the best teacher, you help us to learn and stay motivated. Happy new Year!!!

I have been using NPM for a while but I really don't know some of the points you mentioned. Thanks a lot!

Amazing! Looks like you are reading my mind. Everything time I think about learning something, you upload a video about it! You are doing an amazing job on RU-vid, with one of greatest contents!

To open integrated terminal in Visual studio code, you can use shortcut CTRL + ~

From zero to hero in 42:02 minutes. Thank you!

Didn't know anything, and now i know more than i deserve, thank you very much

This guy is fantastic!

Fantastic series on NPM! Thank you so much

Thanks this helped. Please do a video on how to update code when one of your dependencies' dependencies has a security issue. What is a good strategy for figuring out how to update your dependency without affecting anything else. When working with a tutorial eventually most of it's dependencies get stale and updating each one is rough because it is all new to me.

Nice video brad would love to see an lodash crash course

it's 2020 and this is still the best tutorial on npm I found you make youtube great

I wish I had watched this video much easlier ... it is a quick summary all the common commands for npm ... thanks to Brad again!!!!

Lodash and security(helmet etc) in nodejs/express Crash course? Thanks Brad, my Hero!!

This is the best npm tutorial on RU-vid! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

I now will put Brad Traversy as the author in all my conifgs.

You might have known already. just a tip, that you could change integrated terminal for vs code to git bash by going preferences file. Thank you !!

This is awesome. I'm currently taking other courses on udemy that briefly touch on specific npm steps to set up an environment for the course, but don't give an overview. This video was super useful to me right now.

Your videos are really good. And much understandable.

You'r just awesome. I was just got confused about nmp when i started learning. But you made it so simple. Thank you so much.

Huge help, thanks a lot Brad

Hey there Brad, great crash course, Love your videos. Just a note though for maybe anyone else who is following along and doing these commands verbatim with you: I had a hiccup when I globally installed nodeman and tried running it. I ran "nodeman" just like Brad did in the bash command prompt but instead what I got was an Error: Cannot find module 'file path'. I was getting pretty frustrated; so I went along the file path to the destination and found the nodeman file, but then noticed beneath it was the windows command script "nodeman.cmd". I decided to give this a run in the command prompt and it works just fine. I don't know why I can't just run "nodeman" in my command prompt, but I thought I'd throw that out there just in case anyone else encounters that.-Thanks again,Harrison

Thank you for making this it really helped me understand how I can leverage npm to my benefit.

Wow thanks for all the short cut commands. You really give insights which is really helpful for all the noobs' like me.

Nice one Brad..Watching your videos is exciting. At least i understand npm better...

Thanks Brad, learning a lot from your videos ! Maybe you could show us next time how you go about doing your Cross Browser Testing.

great video Brad. Thanks for helping us novice web developers. Small request, in future, whenever you have time a MEAN app with Angular 4 will be very helpful.

You rock man! This is exactly what I needed, just bought your Angular course, looking forward to that one too!

Excellent video. Covered a hell lot of information in a short period of time. Explanation is on next level. Thank you very much for the effort.

This world needs more people like you! Thank you kind sir!

this is the video i needed but not the video i deserved

Love that you did this video. Thanks, Brad!

That was the exact tutorial I needed in my life right now. Thank you!

You have got some seriously good presentation skills. Nice.

Well, Brad I say this once again: a great thank you for videos which u produce they're awesome and very useful. I've took a lot from your videos, they allow me to get some not really complicated knowledge rappidly like "npm".

Thank you for making this tutorial. Simple and to the point.

Man, this was needed so much!!

Amazing content man. Very easy to follow and understand.

Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much. I've subscribed. One question: if another developer clones your project, how will they know what global packages need to be installed? Because global packages are not included in package.json!

The best NPM tutorial on RU-vid. Thank you!

Great video. I was looking for a npm intro tutorial and this is very well done. Congratulations! Thanks.

I learned a lot from this npm crash course. Thanks a lot! Great tutorial!

Let's install and remove gulp a couple hundred times ;) thanks for the video, it was perfectly easy to follow

This man is legend when it comes to js

Great Brad! Thank u for the video! If a use loadash package and then wants to send a website to a host serve through FileZilla, I also need to send the folder “ node-modules”, right?

It would be interesting to watch a Mithril JS course. There aren't many video courses available at the moment, and the ones that are there, either tend to be presenting its features, or require quite advanced knowledge to follow along. The docs on the site are pretty good though.

this guy is doing just so much good for a lot of people

Excellent overview of NPM. An essential reference.

Now NPM is much clear (in my mind). Thanks Brad

I like it before even watching ! you never disappoint

Great tutorial Brad! help a lot in this sometimes difficult journey to become Web Dev!

This is great! I am no longer intimidated by NPM

Thank you for creating such a useful content for free.

npm prune is used to remove all the dependencies in package.json file, very usefull

Brad, thanks for making these videos. They are super helpful and to the point. I've been referring to your channel traversy media to understand some key stuff. I heard you say in the video about you having courses on Udemy. Do you also have course on LinkedIn learning?

If you are like me, searching THE video tutorial for npm. Yes, this is it, watch it.

Excellent course on npm Covered the basics and more with enough examples. Very clear explanation with details to the tee. Now I am sure of what npm is and how to use it. Thank you very much Brad.

Brilliant tutorials Sir..Just a small question..how do you know from beforehand which is a dev dependency and which is not? Is it something we learn by experience?

Thank you so much for these courses! Easy explanation to understand down to the smallest detail

Brad, one word fabulous, please make full series on npm?

Another great video, Brad! Wow!! Makes me want to learn Node just so I can use it!

very nice work, very easy to understand. you are blessed with good teaching skill.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really enjoy all your content. Extremely well explained and informative.

The best npm tutorial ever!

Loved this video it was very helpful:) Very easy to understand

U r hero of programing eductions

When I ran "npm list" I had a shit ton of "err missing" messages. Apparently there's some issue with the package and package-lock files. Running "npm dedupe" fixed it. Found the solution on Github :)

Thanks @Brad again for the great course, best as always, any thoughts on making a course on Architecting Application ?

Thanks for the nice video Brad. While you are at package managers you can do a crash course on Yarn Package Manager.

Thank you Brad, this was really helpful. May God bless you

Finally actual nmp course, thanks.

Thank you so much. I was struggling so much with that.

Great video brad. Really appriciate your work.

Thanks a lot Brad, this was really confusing to me before.

So much useful info - thanks Brad!
