Create your own node modules and publish them on npm registry, automating repetitive tasks in between Learn something new in an Instant! A short, fast, focused guide delivering immediate results Create and distribute node modules Learn how to publish executables Automate the installation of dependencies In Detail Node.js is the new buzz in town and has a vibrant community.It ships with npm, which is a tool that helps automate various development, deployment, and installation of node modules, and makes the process much easier. Instant NPM is a practical guide to authoring and distributing node modules, and also for creating and managing private, standalone node.js projects.
