## What it is
how-to-npm is a NodeSchool workshopper that teaches npm through interactive terminal exercises, covering environment setup, installing dependencies, logging in, and publishing modules. It runs as a globally installed CLI that guides learners step by step.

## Use cases
- learn how to publish an npm package
- interactive tutorial for npm basics
- practice installing dependencies and managing package.json
- teach a Node.js workshop about npm
- learn npm from the terminal

## When to choose
- you want a hands-on, terminal-based introduction to npm
- you are running or attending a NodeSchool workshop
- you are new to publishing JavaScript modules to npm

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date coverage of modern npm features, as the package has not been published in years
- you want general JavaScript or Node.js tutorials beyond npm
- you prefer video or browser-based learning

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, cli, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, education
- platform: cli, cross-platform
