Homepage and full documentation: https://npm-gui.nullapps.dev

npm-gui is a convenient tool for managing javascript project dependencies listed in package.json. Under the hood, it will transparently use npm, pnpm, or yarn commands to install, remove or update dependencies (to use yarn it requires the yarn.lock file to be present in the project folder.)

Getting Started

The recommended way to run npm-gui is by using npx:

~/$ npx npm-gui@latest

It will run the most recent version of npm-gui without installing it on your system.

Installation as global dependency

npm-gui could also be installed as a global dependency:

~/$ npm install -g npm-gui

and then run with just:

~/$ npm-gui

Installation as local dependency (not-recommended)

~/$ npm install npm-gui
