npm-init(1) -- Interactively create a package.json file ======================================================= ## SYNOPSIS npm init [-f|--force|-y|--yes] ## DESCRIPTION This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package.json for you. It attempts to make reasonable guesses about what you want things to be set to, and then writes a package.json file with the options you've selected. If you already have a package.json file, it'll read that first, and default to the options in there. It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package.json without a really good reason to do so. If you invoke it with `-f`, `--force`, `-y`, or `--yes`, it will use only defaults and not prompt you for any options. ## CONFIGURATION ### scope * Default: none * Type: String The scope under which the new module should be created. ## SEE ALSO * * package.json(5) * npm-version(1) * npm-scope(7)
