NAME
npm-adduser - Add a registry user account
SYNOPSIS
-
npm adduser [--registry=url] [--scope=@orgname] [--always-auth]
aliases: login, add-user
DESCRIPTION
Create or verify a user named
<username> in the specified registry, and
save the credentials to the
.npmrc file. If no registry is specified,
the default registry will be used (see npm help 7
npm-config).
The username, password, and email are read in from prompts.
To reset your password, go to
https://www.npmjs.com/forgot
To change your email address, go to
https://www.npmjs.com/email-edit
You may use this command multiple times with the same user account to
authorize on a new machine. When authenticating on a new machine,
the username, password and email address must all match with
your existing record.
npm login is an alias to
adduser and behaves exactly the same way.
CONFIGURATION
registry
Default:
https://registry.npmjs.org/
The base URL of the npm package registry. If
scope is also specified,
this registry will only be used for packages with that scope.
scope defaults
to the scope of the project directory you're currently in, if any. See npm help 7
npm-scope.
scope
Default: none
If specified, the user and login credentials given will be associated
with the specified scope. See npm help 7
npm-scope. You can use both at the same time,
e.g.
-
npm adduser --registry=http://myregistry.example.com --scope=@myco
This will set a registry for the given scope and login or create a user for
that registry at the same time.
always-auth
Default: false
If specified, save configuration indicating that all requests to the given
registry should include authorization information. Useful for private
registries. Can be used with
--registry and / or
--scope, e.g.
-
npm adduser --registry=http://private-registry.example.com --always-auth
This will ensure that all requests to that registry (including for tarballs)
include an authorization header. This setting may be necessary for use with
private registries where metadata and package tarballs are stored on hosts with
different hostnames. See
always-auth in npm help 7
npm-config for more details on
always-auth. Registry-specific configuration of
always-auth takes precedence
over any global configuration.
