Install NPM Packages from GitHub Directly
Today I’m going to share how to install npm
packages from GitHub repository.
Installing Package
Visit your npm package repository and copy the https
URL of the repo. Then run like this to install the package:
npm install https://github.com/expressjs/express
We can also set a specific version number like this:
npm install https://github.com/expressjs/express#semver:4.17.1
After installing the package, it’ll add the following dependency to package.json
file.
"dependencies": {
"express": "git+https://github.com/expressjs/express.git"
}
That’s it. Thanks for reading.
