Install with NPM

Install and manage Rivet as an NPM package

NPM dependency

These instructions assume that you are already using NPM in your project. If not, you can visit the NPM website to learn more about getting started with Node and NPM.

About using a .npmrc file

In previous versions of Rivet, a .npmrc file configured to look at IU’s public registry was required to install Rivet. As of version 1.1.0, you no longer need a .npmrc file.

Installing via NPM

Once you have a package.json file configured in the root of your project, you can run the following command to install Rivet:

npm install rivet-uits@1.8.3 --save-dev

Updating the Rivet NPM package

When a new version of Rivet is released, it will be published to the NPM registry. You can check for updates by running the npm outdated command. To actually update your NPM dependency, you can run the following command in the same directory as your project’s package.json file:

In this example, <version> would be the new version of Rivet you want to install, for example 1.8.3

npm install rivet-uits@<version> --save-dev
