## Get help on npm
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm help <term> [<terms..>]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
If supplied a topic, then show the appropriate documentation page.
|
|
|
|
If the topic does not exist, or if multiple terms are provided, then 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

|
|

The program to use to view help content.
