<p>The <code class="language-text">"scripts"</code> property of of your <code class="language-text">package.json</code> file supports a number of built-in scripts and their preset life cycle events as well as arbitrary scripts. These all can be executed by running <code class="language-text">npm run-script <stage></code> or <code class="language-text">npm run <stage></code> for short. <em>Pre</em> and <em>post</em> commands with matching names will be run for those as well (e.g. <code class="language-text">premyscript</code>, <code class="language-text">myscript</code>, <code class="language-text">postmyscript</code>). Scripts from dependencies can be run with <code class="language-text">npm explore <pkg> -- npm run <stage></code>.</p>

<p>There are some special life cycle scripts that happen only in certain situations. These scripts happen in addtion to the "pre" and "post" script.</p>
<ul>
<li><code class="language-text">prepare</code>, <code class="language-text">prepublish</code>, <code class="language-text">prepublishOnly</code>, <code class="language-text">prepack</code>, <code class="language-text">postpack</code></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>prepare</strong> (since <code class="language-text">npm@4.0.0</code>)</p>
<ul>
<li>Runs BEFORE the package is packed</li>
<li>Runs BEFORE the package is published</li>
<li>Runs on local <code class="language-text">npm install</code> without any arguments</li>
<li>Run AFTER <code class="language-text">prepublish</code>, but BEFORE <code class="language-text">prepublishOnly</code></li>
<li>NOTE: If a package being installed through git contains a <code class="language-text">prepare</code> script, its <code class="language-text">dependencies</code> and <code class="language-text">devDependencies</code> will be installed, and the prepare script will be run, before the package is packaged and installed.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>prepublish</strong> (DEPRECATED)</p>
<ul>
<li>Same as <code class="language-text">prepare</code></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>prepublishOnly</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Runs BEFORE the package is prepared and packed, ONLY on <code class="language-text">npm publish</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>prepack</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Runs BEFORE a tarball is packed (on "<code class="language-text">npm pack</code>", "<code class="language-text">npm publish</code>", and when installing a git dependencies).</li>
<li>NOTE: "<code class="language-text">npm run pack</code>" is NOT the same as "<code class="language-text">npm pack</code>". "<code class="language-text">npm run pack</code>" is an arbitrary user defined script name, where as, "<code class="language-text">npm pack</code>" is a CLI defined command.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>postpack</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Runs AFTER the tarball has been generated and moved to its final destination.</li>

<p><strong>Deprecation Note: prepublish</strong></p>
<p>Since <code class="language-text">npm@1.1.71</code>, the npm CLI has run the <code class="language-text">prepublish</code> script for both <code class="language-text">npm publish</code> and <code class="language-text">npm install</code>, because it's a convenient way to prepare a package for use (some common use cases are described in the section below). It has also turned out to be, in practice, <a href="https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10074">very confusing</a>. As of <code class="language-text">npm@4.0.0</code>, a new event has been introduced, <code class="language-text">prepare</code>, that preserves this existing behavior. A <em>new</em> event, <code class="language-text">prepublishOnly</code> has been added as a transitional strategy to allow users to avoid the confusing behavior of existing npm versions and only run on <code class="language-text">npm publish</code> (for instance, running the tests one last time to ensure they're in good shape).</p>
<p>See <a href="https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10074">https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10074</a> for a much lengthier justification, with further reading, for this change.</p>
<p><strong>Use Cases</strong></p>
<p>If you need to perform operations on your package before it is used, in a way that is not dependent on the operating system or architecture of the target system, use a <code class="language-text">prepublish</code> script. This includes tasks such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Compiling CoffeeScript source code into JavaScript.</li>
<li>Creating minified versions of JavaScript source code.</li>
<li>Fetching remote resources that your package will use.</li>
</ul>
<p>The advantage of doing these things at <code class="language-text">prepublish</code> time is that they can be done once, in a single place, thus reducing complexity and variability. Additionally, this means that:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can depend on <code class="language-text">coffee-script</code> as a <code class="language-text">devDependency</code>, and thus
your users don't need to have it installed.</li>
<li>You don't need to include minifiers in your package, reducing
the size for your users.</li>
<li>You don't need to rely on your users having <code class="language-text">curl</code> or <code class="language-text">wget</code> or
other system tools on the target machines.</li>
</ul>

<p>Package scripts run in an environment where many pieces of information

<p>If you depend on modules that define executable scripts, like test
suites, then those executables will be added to the <code class="language-text">PATH</code> for
executing the scripts. So, if your package.json has this:</p>
<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="json"><pre class="language-json"><code class="language-json"><span class="token punctuation">{</span>
<span class="token property">"name"</span> <span class="token operator">:</span> <span class="token string">"foo"</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span>

<span class="token punctuation">}</span>
<span class="token punctuation">}</span></code></pre></div>
<p>then you could run <code class="language-text">npm start</code> to execute the <code class="language-text">bar</code> script, which is
exported into the <code class="language-text">node_modules/.bin</code> directory on <code class="language-text">npm install</code>.</p>

<p>The package.json fields are tacked onto the <code class="language-text">npm_package_</code> prefix. So,
for instance, if you had <code class="language-text">{"name":"foo", "version":"1.2.5"}</code> in your
package.json file, then your package scripts would have the
<code class="language-text">npm_package_name</code> environment variable set to "foo", and the
<code class="language-text">npm_package_version</code> set to "1.2.5". You can access these variables
in your code with <code class="language-text">process.env.npm_package_name</code> and
<code class="language-text">process.env.npm_package_version</code>, and so on for other fields.</p>
<h4 id="configuration" style="position:relative;"><a href="#configuration" aria-label="configuration permalink" class="header-link-class before"><svg aria-hidden="true" height="20" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 16 16" width="20"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z"></path></svg></a>configuration</h4>
<p>Configuration parameters are put in the environment with the

<p>The package.json "config" keys are overwritten in the environment if
there is a config param of <code class="language-text"><name>[@<version>]:<key></code>. For example,
if the package.json has this:</p>
<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="json"><pre class="language-json"><code class="language-json"><span class="token punctuation">{</span>
<span class="token property">"name"</span> <span class="token operator">:</span> <span class="token string">"foo"</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span>

<span class="token punctuation">}</span>
<span class="token punctuation">}</span></code></pre></div>
<p>and the server.js is this:</p>
<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="javascript"><pre class="language-javascript"><code class="language-javascript">http<span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token function">createServer</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token operator">...</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token function">listen</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span>process<span class="token punctuation">.</span>env<span class="token punctuation">.</span>npm_package_config_port<span class="token punctuation">)</span></code></pre></div>
<p>then the user could change the behavior by doing:</p>
<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="bash"><pre class="language-bash"><code class="language-bash"> <span class="token function">npm</span> config <span class="token builtin class-name">set</span> foo:port <span class="token number">80</span></code></pre></div>

<p>Lastly, the <code class="language-text">npm_lifecycle_event</code> environment variable is set to
whichever stage of the cycle is being executed. So, you could have a
single script used for different parts of the process which switches
based on what's currently happening.</p>
<p>Objects are flattened following this format, so if you had
<code class="language-text">{"scripts":{"install":"foo.js"}}</code> in your package.json, then you'd
see this in the script:</p>
<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="bash"><pre class="language-bash"><code class="language-bash">process.env.npm_package_scripts_install <span class="token operator">==</span><span class="token operator">=</span> <span class="token string">"foo.js"</span></code></pre></div>

<p>For example, if your package.json contains this:</p>
<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="json"><pre class="language-json"><code class="language-json"><span class="token punctuation">{</span>
<span class="token property">"scripts"</span> <span class="token operator">:</span> <span class="token punctuation">{</span>
<span class="token property">"install"</span> <span class="token operator">:</span> <span class="token string">"scripts/install.js"</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span>

<span class="token property">"uninstall"</span> <span class="token operator">:</span> <span class="token string">"scripts/uninstall.js"</span>
<span class="token punctuation">}</span>
<span class="token punctuation">}</span></code></pre></div>
<p>then <code class="language-text">scripts/install.js</code> will be called for the install
and post-install stages of the lifecycle, and <code class="language-text">scripts/uninstall.js</code>
will be called when the package is uninstalled. Since
<code class="language-text">scripts/install.js</code> is running for two different phases, it would
be wise in this case to look at the <code class="language-text">npm_lifecycle_event</code> environment
variable.</p>
<p>If you want to run a make command, you can do so. This works just
fine:</p>
<div class="gatsby-highlight" data-language="json"><pre class="language-json"><code class="language-json"><span class="token punctuation">{</span>
<span class="token property">"scripts"</span> <span class="token operator">:</span> <span class="token punctuation">{</span>

<p>If you want to run a specific script at a specific lifecycle event for
ALL packages, then you can use a hook script.</p>
<p>Place an executable file at <code class="language-text">node_modules/.hooks/{eventname}</code>, and
it'll get run for all packages when they are going through that point
in the package lifecycle for any packages installed in that root.</p>
<p>Hook scripts are run exactly the same way as package.json scripts.
That is, they are in a separate child process, with the env described
above.</p>

<ul>
<li>Don't exit with a non-zero error code unless you <em>really</em> mean it.
Except for uninstall scripts, this will cause the npm action to
fail, and potentially be rolled back. If the failure is minor or
only will prevent some optional features, then it's better to just
print a warning and exit successfully.</li>
<li>Try not to use scripts to do what npm can do for you. Read through
<a href="../../configuring-npm/package-json"><code class="language-text">package.json</code></a> to see all the things that you can specify and enable
by simply describing your package appropriately. In general, this
will lead to a more robust and consistent state.</li>
<li>Inspect the env to determine where to put things. For instance, if
the <code class="language-text">npm_config_binroot</code> environment variable is set to <code class="language-text">/home/user/bin</code>, then
don't try to install executables into <code class="language-text">/usr/local/bin</code>. The user
probably set it up that way for a reason.</li>
<li>Don't prefix your script commands with "sudo". If root permissions
are required for some reason, then it'll fail with that error, and
the user will sudo the npm command in question.</li>
<li>Don't use <code class="language-text">install</code>. Use a <code class="language-text">.gyp</code> file for compilation, and <code class="language-text">prepublish</code>
for anything else. You should almost never have to explicitly set a
preinstall or install script. If you are doing this, please consider if
there is another option. The only valid use of <code class="language-text">install</code> or <code class="language-text">preinstall</code>
scripts is for compilation which must be done on the target architecture.</li>
