npm is a package manager for JavaScript, and is the default for Node.js.
Overview
As of Node.js version 0.6.3, npm is bundled and installed automatically with the environment.[2] npm runs through the command line and manages dependencies for an application. It also allows users to install Node.js applications that are available on the npm registry. npm is written entirely in JavaScript and was developed by Isaac Z. Schlueter as a result of the frustrations he had experienced while working with CommonJS, and with inspiration from similar projects for PHP (PEAR) and Perl (CPAN).[3]
Usage
By default, npm modules are retrieved over the Internet from the public package registry maintained on http://npmjs.org. Modules may be installed through npm install:
$ npm install moduleName
For example, to install LESS:
$ npm install less
