13 <h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
14 <pre><code>npm link (in package folder)
15 npm link [@&lt;scope&gt;/]&lt;pkgname&gt;
16 npm ln (with any of the previous argument usage)
17 </code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
18 <p>Package linking is a two-step process.</p>
19 <p>First, <code>npm link</code> in a package folder will create a symlink in the global folder
20 <code>{prefix}/lib/node_modules/&lt;package&gt;</code> that links to the package where the <code>npm
21 link</code> command was executed. (see <code><a href="../misc/npm-config.html">npm-config(7)</a></code> for the value of <code>prefix</code>). It
22 will also link any bins in the package to <code>{prefix}/bin/{name}</code>.</p>
23 <p>Next, in some other location, <code>npm link package-name</code> will create a
24 symbolic link from globally-installed <code>package-name</code> to <code>node_modules/</code>
25 of the current folder.</p>
26 <p>Note that <code>package-name</code> is taken from <code>package.json</code>,
27 not from directory name.</p>
28 <p>The package name can be optionally prefixed with a scope. See <code><a href="../misc/npm-scope.html">npm-scope(7)</a></code>.
29 The scope must be preceded by an @-symbol and followed by a slash.</p>
30 <p>When creating tarballs for <code>npm publish</code>, the linked packages are
31 &quot;snapshotted&quot; to their current state by resolving the symbolic links.</p>
32 <p>This is handy for installing your own stuff, so that you can work on it and
33 test it iteratively without having to continually rebuild.</p>
34 <p>For example:</p>
35 <pre><code>cd ~/projects/node-redis    # go into the package directory
36 npm link                    # creates global link
37 cd ~/projects/node-bloggy   # go into some other package directory.
38 npm link redis              # link-install the package
39 </code></pre><p>Now, any changes to ~/projects/node-redis will be reflected in
40 ~/projects/node-bloggy/node_modules/node-redis/. Note that the link should
41 be to the package name, not the directory name for that package.</p>
42 <p>You may also shortcut the two steps in one.  For example, to do the
43 above use-case in a shorter way:</p>
44 <pre><code>cd ~/projects/node-bloggy  # go into the dir of your main project
45 npm link ../node-redis     # link the dir of your dependency
46 </code></pre><p>The second line is the equivalent of doing:</p>
47 <pre><code>(cd ../node-redis; npm link)
48 npm link node-redis
49 </code></pre><p>That is, it first creates a global link, and then links the global
50 installation target into your project&#39;s <code>node_modules</code> folder.</p>
51 <p>If your linked package is scoped (see <code><a href="../misc/npm-scope.html">npm-scope(7)</a></code>) your link command must
52 include that scope, e.g.</p>
53 <pre><code>npm link @myorg/privatepackage
54 </code></pre><h2 id="see-also">SEE ALSO</h2>
