# Maintaining npm in Node.js
## Step 1: Clone npm
```console
$ git clone https://github.com/npm/npm.git
$ cd npm
```
or if you already have npm cloned make sure the repo is up to date
```console
$ git remote update -p
$ git reset --hard origin latest
```
## Step 2: Build release
```console
$ git checkout vX.Y.Z
$ make release
```
Note: please run `npm dist-tag ls npm` and make sure this is the `latest`
**dist-tag**. `latest` on git is usually released as `next` when it's time to
downstream
## Step 3: Remove old npm
```console
$ cd /path/to/node
$ git remote update -p
$ git checkout -b npm-x.y.z origin/master
$ cd deps
$ rm -rf npm
```
## Step 4: Extract and commit new npm
```console
$ tar zxf /path/to/npm/release/npm-x.y.z.tgz
$ git add -A npm
$ git commit -m "deps: upgrade npm to x.y.z"
$ cd ..
```
## Step 5: Update licenses
```console
$ ./configure
$ make -j4
$ ./tools/license-builder.sh
# The following commands are only necessary if there are changes
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "doc: update npm LICENSE using license-builder.sh"
```
Note: please ensure you are only making the updates that are changed by npm.
## Step 6: Apply Whitespace fix
```console
$ git rebase --whitespace=fix master
```
## Step 7: Test the build
```console
$ make test-npm
```
