## The npm config files

### Description

npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment
variables, and `npmrc` files.

The `npm config` command can be used to update and edit the contents
of the user and global npmrc files.

For a list of available configuration options, see [config](/using-npm/config).

### Files

The four relevant files are:

* per-project config file (/path/to/my/project/.npmrc)
* per-user config file (~/.npmrc)
* global config file ($PREFIX/etc/npmrc)
* npm builtin config file (/path/to/npm/npmrc)

All npm config files are an ini-formatted list of `key = value`
parameters.  Environment variables can be replaced using
`${VARIABLE_NAME}`. For example:

```bash
prefix = ${HOME}/.npm-packages
```

Each of these files is loaded, and config options are resolved in
priority order.  For example, a setting in the userconfig file would
override the setting in the globalconfig file.

Array values are specified by adding "[]" after the key name. For
example:

```bash
key[] = "first value"
key[] = "second value"
```
