npm is a package manager for the JavaScript programming language maintained by Microsoft's npm, Inc. npm is the default package manager for the JavaScript runtime environment Node.js and is included as a recommended feature in the Node.js installer.[4]
It consists of a command line client, also called npm, and an online database of public and paid-for private packages, called the npm registry. The registry is accessed via the client, and the available packages can be browsed and searched via the npm website. The package manager and the registry are managed by npm, Inc.
While "npm" is commonly understood to be an abbreviation for "Node Package Manager", it's officially a recursive backronym for "npm is not an acronym".[5]
