Introduction to NPX

Updated:  at  08:47 PM

What is NPX?

NPX stands for Node Package eXecute. NPX allows a user to run a command from a local or remote npm package.

Why NPX?

The purpose of NPX is to execute packages without installing them locally or globally. It is typically a good choice when you only need to execute a package once.

For example:

npx create-react-app my-app
