<pre lang="bash"><code>npm doctor
|
||
</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
|
||
<p><code>npm doctor</code> runs a set of checks to ensure that your npm installation has
|
||
what it needs to manage your JavaScript packages. npm is mostly a
|
||
standalone tool, but it does have some basic requirements that must be met:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Node.js and git must be executable by npm.</li>
|
||
<li>The primary npm registry, <code>registry.npmjs.com</code>, or another service that
|
||
uses the registry API, is available.</li>
|
||
<li>The directories that npm uses, <code>node_modules</code> (both locally and
|
||
globally), exist and can be written by the current user.</li>
|
||
<li>The npm cache exists, and the package tarballs within it aren't corrupt.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Without all of these working properly, npm may not work properly. Many
|
||
issues are often attributable to things that are outside npm's code base,
|
||
so <code>npm doctor</code> confirms that the npm installation is in a good state.</p>
|
||
<p>Also, in addition to this, there are also very many issue reports due to
|
||
using old versions of npm. Since npm is constantly improving, running
|
||
<code>npm@latest</code> is better than an old version.</p>
|
||
<p><code>npm doctor</code> verifies the following items in your environment, and if there
|
||
are any recommended changes, it will display them.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="npm-ping"><code>npm ping</code></h4>
|
||
<p>By default, npm installs from the primary npm registry,
|
||
<code>registry.npmjs.org</code>. <code>npm doctor</code> hits a special ping endpoint within the
|
||
registry. This can also be checked with <code>npm ping</code>. If this check fails,
|
||
you may be using a proxy that needs to be configured, or may need to talk
|
||
to your IT staff to get access over HTTPS to <code>registry.npmjs.org</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>This check is done against whichever registry you've configured (you can
|
||
see what that is by running <code>npm config get registry</code>), and if you're using
|
||
a private registry that doesn't support the <code>/whoami</code> endpoint supported by
|
||
the primary registry, this check may fail.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="npm--v"><code>npm -v</code></h4>
|
||
<p>While Node.js may come bundled with a particular version of npm, it's the
|
||
policy of the CLI team that we recommend all users run <code>npm@latest</code> if they
|
||
can. As the CLI is maintained by a small team of contributors, there are
|
||
only resources for a single line of development, so npm's own long-term
|
||
support releases typically only receive critical security and regression
|
||
fixes. The team believes that the latest tested version of npm is almost
|
||
always likely to be the most functional and defect-free version of npm.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="node--v"><code>node -v</code></h4>
|
||
<p>For most users, in most circumstances, the best version of Node will be the
|
||
latest long-term support (LTS) release. Those of you who want access to new
|
||
ECMAscript features or bleeding-edge changes to Node's standard library may
|
||
be running a newer version, and some may be required to run an older
|
||
version of Node because of enterprise change control policies. That's OK!
|
||
But in general, the npm team recommends that most users run Node.js LTS.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="npm-config-get-registry"><code>npm config get registry</code></h4>
|
||
<p>You may be installing from private package registries for your project or
|
||
company. That's great! Others may be following tutorials or StackOverflow
|
||
questions in an effort to troubleshoot problems you may be having.
|
||
Sometimes, this may entail changing the registry you're pointing at. This
|
||
part of <code>npm doctor</code> just lets you, and maybe whoever's helping you with
|
||
support, know that you're not using the default registry.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="which-git"><code>which git</code></h4>
|
||
<p>While it's documented in the README, it may not be obvious that npm needs
|
||
Git installed to do many of the things that it does. Also, in some cases
|
||
– especially on Windows – you may have Git set up in such a way that it's
|
||
not accessible via your <code>PATH</code> so that npm can find it. This check ensures
|
||
that Git is available.</p>
|
||
<h4 id="permissions-checks">Permissions checks</h4>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Your cache must be readable and writable by the user running npm.</li>
|
||
<li>Global package binaries must be writable by the user running npm.</li>
|
||
<li>Your local <code>node_modules</code> path, if you're running <code>npm doctor</code> with a
|
||
project directory, must be readable and writable by the user running npm.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h4 id="validate-the-checksums-of-cached-packages">Validate the checksums of cached packages</h4>
|
||
<p>When an npm package is published, the publishing process generates a
|
||
checksum that npm uses at install time to verify that the package didn't
|
||
get corrupted in transit. <code>npm doctor</code> uses these checksums to validate the
|
||
package tarballs in your local cache (you can see where that cache is
|
||
located with <code>npm config get cache</code>). In the event that there are corrupt
|
||
packages in your cache, you should probably run <code>npm cache clean -f</code> and
|
||
reset the cache.</p>
