--- title: npm-help section: 1 description: Get help on npm --- ### Synopsis ```bash npm help <term> [<terms..>] alias: hlep ``` Note: This command is unaware of workspaces. ### Description If supplied a topic, then show the appropriate documentation page. If the topic does not exist, or if multiple terms are provided, then npm will run the `help-search` command to find a match. Note that, if `help-search` finds a single subject, then it will run `help` on that topic, so unique matches are equivalent to specifying a topic name. ### Configuration #### `viewer` * Default: "man" on Posix, "browser" on Windows * Type: String The program to use to view help content. Set to `"browser"` to view html help content in the default web browser. ### See Also * [npm](/commands/npm) * [npm folders](/configuring-npm/folders) * [npm config](/commands/npm-config) * [npmrc](/configuring-npm/npmrc) * [package.json](/configuring-npm/package-json) * [npm help-search](/commands/npm-help-search)
