1481cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<div id="_content"><h3 id="description">Description</h3>
1491cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>To resolve packages by name and version, npm talks to a registry website
1501cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cithat implements the CommonJS Package Registry specification for reading
1511cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cipackage info.</p>
1521cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>npm is configured to use the <strong>npm public registry</strong> at
1531cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<a href="https://registry.npmjs.org">https://registry.npmjs.org</a> by default. Use of the npm public registry is
1541cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cisubject to terms of use available at <a href="https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/terms">https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/terms</a>.</p>
1551cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>You can configure npm to use any compatible registry you like, and even run
1561cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciyour own registry. Use of someone else's registry may be governed by their
1571cb0ef41Sopenharmony_citerms of use.</p>
1581cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>npm's package registry implementation supports several
1591cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciwrite APIs as well, to allow for publishing packages and managing user
1601cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciaccount information.</p>
1611cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>The npm public registry is powered by a CouchDB database,
1621cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciof which there is a public mirror at <a href="https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry">https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry</a>.</p>
1631cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>The registry URL used is determined by the scope of the package (see
1641cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<a href="../using-npm/scope.html"><code>scope</code></a>. If no scope is specified, the default registry is
1651cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciused, which is supplied by the <a href="../using-npm/config#registry.html"><code>registry</code> config</a>
1661cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciparameter.  See <a href="../commands/npm-config.html"><code>npm config</code></a>,
1671cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<a href="../configuring-npm/npmrc.html"><code>npmrc</code></a>, and <a href="../using-npm/config.html"><code>config</code></a> for more on
1681cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cimanaging npm's configuration.
1691cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciAuthentication configuration such as auth tokens and certificates are configured
1701cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cispecifically scoped to an individual registry. See
1711cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<a href="../configuring-npm/npmrc#auth-related-configuration.html">Auth Related Configuration</a></p>
1721cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>When the default registry is used in a package-lock or shrinkwrap it has the
1731cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cispecial meaning of "the currently configured registry". If you create a lock
1741cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cifile while using the default registry you can switch to another registry and
1751cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cinpm will install packages from the new registry, but if you create a lock
1761cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cifile while using a custom registry packages will be installed from that
1771cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciregistry even after you change to another registry.</p>
1781cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h3 id="does-npm-send-any-information-about-me-back-to-the-registry">Does npm send any information about me back to the registry?</h3>
1791cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Yes.</p>
1801cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>When making requests of the registry npm adds two headers with information
1811cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciabout your environment:</p>
1821cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<ul>
1831cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<li><code>Npm-Scope</code> – If your project is scoped, this header will contain its
1841cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciscope. In the future npm hopes to build registry features that use this
1851cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciinformation to allow you to customize your experience for your
1861cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciorganization.</li>
1871cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<li><code>Npm-In-CI</code> – Set to "true" if npm believes this install is running in a
1881cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cicontinuous integration environment, "false" otherwise. This is detected by
1891cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cilooking for the following environment variables: <code>CI</code>, <code>TDDIUM</code>,
1901cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>JENKINS_URL</code>, <code>bamboo.buildKey</code>. If you'd like to learn more you may find
1911cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cithe <a href="https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-client/pull/129">original PR</a>
1921cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciinteresting.
1931cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciThis is used to gather better metrics on how npm is used by humans, versus
1941cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cibuild farms.</li>
1951cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci</ul>
1961cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>The npm registry does not try to correlate the information in these headers
1971cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ciwith any authenticated accounts that may be used in the same requests.</p>
1981cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<h3 id="how-can-i-prevent-my-package-from-being-published-in-the-official-registry">How can I prevent my package from being published in the official registry?</h3>
1991cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>Set <code>"private": true</code> in your <code>package.json</code> to prevent it from being
2001cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cipublished at all, or
2011cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<code>"publishConfig":{"registry":"http://my-internal-registry.local"}</code>
2021cb0ef41Sopenharmony_cito force it to be published only to your internal/private registry.</p>
2031cb0ef41Sopenharmony_ci<p>See <a href="../configuring-npm/package-json.html"><code>package.json</code></a> for more info on what goes in the package.json file.</p>
