title: npm-ci
section: 1
description: Clean install a project
---
### Synopsis
```bash
npm ci
aliases: clean-install, ic, install-clean, isntall-clean
```
### Description
This command is similar to [`npm install`](/commands/npm-install), except
it's meant to be used in automated environments such as test platforms,
continuous integration, and deployment -- or any situation where you want
to make sure you're doing a clean install of your dependencies.
The main differences between using `npm install` and `npm ci` are:
* The project **must** have an existing `package-lock.json` or
`npm-shrinkwrap.json`.
* If dependencies in the package lock do not match those in `package.json`,
`npm ci` will exit with an error, instead of updating the package lock.
* `npm ci` can only install entire projects at a time: individual
dependencies cannot be added with this command.
* If a `node_modules` is already present, it will be automatically removed
before `npm ci` begins its install.
* It will never write to `package.json` or any of the package-locks:
installs are essentially frozen.
NOTE: If you create your `package-lock.json` file by running `npm install`
with flags that can affect the shape of your dependency tree, such as
`--legacy-peer-deps` or `--install-links`, you _must_ provide the same
flags to `npm ci` or you are likely to encounter errors. An easy way to do
this is to run, for example,
`npm config set legacy-peer-deps=true --location=project` and commit the
`.npmrc` file to your repo.
### Example
Make sure you have a package-lock and an up-to-date install:
```bash
$ cd ./my/npm/project
$ npm install
added 154 packages in 10s
$ ls | grep package-lock
```
Run `npm ci` in that project
```bash
$ npm ci
added 154 packages in 5s
```
Configure Travis CI to build using `npm ci` instead of `npm install`:
```bash
# .travis.yml
install:
- npm ci
# keep the npm cache around to speed up installs
cache:
directories:
- "$HOME/.npm"
```
### Configuration
#### `save`
* Default: `true` unless when using `npm update` where it defaults to `false`
* Type: Boolean
Save installed packages to a `package.json` file as dependencies.
When used with the `npm rm` command, removes the dependency from
`package.json`.
Will also prevent writing to `package-lock.json` if set to `false`.
#### `save-exact`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
Dependencies saved to package.json will be configured with an exact version
rather than using npm's default semver range operator.
#### `global`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the `prefix`
folder instead of the current working directory. See
[folders](/configuring-npm/folders) for more on the differences in behavior.
* packages are installed into the `{prefix}/lib/node_modules` folder, instead
of the current working directory.
* bin files are linked to `{prefix}/bin`
* man pages are linked to `{prefix}/share/man`
#### `install-strategy`
* Default: "hoisted"
* Type: "hoisted", "nested", "shallow", or "linked"
Sets the strategy for installing packages in node_modules. hoisted
(default): Install non-duplicated in top-level, and duplicated as necessary
within directory structure. nested: (formerly --legacy-bundling) install in
place, no hoisting. shallow (formerly --global-style) only install direct
deps at top-level. linked: (experimental) install in node_modules/.store,
link in place, unhoisted.
#### `legacy-bundling`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
* DEPRECATED: This option has been deprecated in favor of
`--install-strategy=nested`
Instead of hoisting package installs in `node_modules`, install packages in
the same manner that they are depended on. This may cause very deep
directory structures and duplicate package installs as there is no
de-duplicating. Sets `--install-strategy=nested`.
#### `global-style`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
* DEPRECATED: This option has been deprecated in favor of
`--install-strategy=shallow`
Only install direct dependencies in the top level `node_modules`, but hoist
on deeper dependencies. Sets `--install-strategy=shallow`.
#### `omit`
* Default: 'dev' if the `NODE_ENV` environment variable is set to
'production', otherwise empty.
* Type: "dev", "optional", or "peer" (can be set multiple times)
Dependency types to omit from the installation tree on disk.
Note that these dependencies _are_ still resolved and added to the
`package-lock.json` or `npm-shrinkwrap.json` file. They are just not
physically installed on disk.
If a package type appears in both the `--include` and `--omit` lists, then
it will be included.
If the resulting omit list includes `'dev'`, then the `NODE_ENV` environment
variable will be set to `'production'` for all lifecycle scripts.
#### `strict-peer-deps`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
If set to `true`, and `--legacy-peer-deps` is not set, then _any_
conflicting `peerDependencies` will be treated as an install failure, even
if npm could reasonably guess the appropriate resolution based on non-peer
dependency relationships.
By default, conflicting `peerDependencies` deep in the dependency graph will
be resolved using the nearest non-peer dependency specification, even if
doing so will result in some packages receiving a peer dependency outside
the range set in their package's `peerDependencies` object.
When such an override is performed, a warning is printed, explaining the
conflict and the packages involved. If `--strict-peer-deps` is set, then
this warning is treated as a failure.
#### `package-lock`
* Default: true
* Type: Boolean
If set to false, then ignore `package-lock.json` files when installing. This
will also prevent _writing_ `package-lock.json` if `save` is true.
This configuration does not affect `npm ci`.
#### `foreground-scripts`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
Run all build scripts (ie, `preinstall`, `install`, and `postinstall`)
scripts for installed packages in the foreground process, sharing standard
input, output, and error with the main npm process.
Note that this will generally make installs run slower, and be much noisier,
but can be useful for debugging.
#### `ignore-scripts`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.
Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as
`npm start`, `npm stop`, `npm restart`, `npm test`, and `npm run-script`
will still run their intended script if `ignore-scripts` is set, but they
will *not* run any pre- or post-scripts.
#### `audit`
* Default: true
* Type: Boolean
When "true" submit audit reports alongside the current npm command to the
default registry and all registries configured for scopes. See the
documentation for [`npm audit`](/commands/npm-audit) for details on what is
submitted.
#### `bin-links`
* Default: true
* Type: Boolean
Tells npm to create symlinks (or `.cmd` shims on Windows) for package
executables.
Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the
fact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on ostensibly Unix
systems.
#### `fund`
* Default: true
* Type: Boolean
When "true" displays the message at the end of each `npm install`
acknowledging the number of dependencies looking for funding. See [`npm
fund`](/commands/npm-fund) for details.
#### `dry-run`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
Indicates that you don't want npm to make any changes and that it should
only report what it would have done. This can be passed into any of the
commands that modify your local installation, eg, `install`, `update`,
`dedupe`, `uninstall`, as well as `pack` and `publish`.
Note: This is NOT honored by other network related commands, eg `dist-tags`,
`owner`, etc.
#### `workspace`
* Default:
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
this configuration option.
Valid values for the `workspace` config are either:
* Workspace names
* Path to a workspace directory
* Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
workspaces within that folder)
When set for the `npm init` command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
#### `workspaces`
* Default: null
* Type: null or Boolean
Set to true to run the command in the context of **all** configured
workspaces.
Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like `install` to
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:
- Commands that operate on the `node_modules` tree (install, update, etc.)
will link workspaces into the `node_modules` folder. - Commands that do
other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
_unless_ one or more workspaces are specified in the `workspace` config.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
#### `include-workspace-root`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.
When false, specifying individual workspaces via the `workspace` config, or
all workspaces via the `workspaces` flag, will cause npm to operate only on
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
#### `install-links`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
When set file: protocol dependencies will be packed and installed as regular
dependencies instead of creating a symlink. This option has no effect on
workspaces.
