What is NPM?
NPM-ALK⁺ T-cell anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is an aggressive type of cancer. Standard treatment of NPM-ALK⁺ ALCL is CHOP polychemotherapy. Although patients initially respond favorably to CHOP, resistance, relapse, and death frequently occur. Recently, selective targeting of ALK has emerge. Npm (originally short for Node Package Manager) is a package manager for the JavaScript programming language. It is the default package manager for the JavaScript runtime environment Node.js. It consists of a command line client, also called npm, and an online database of public and paid-for private packages, called the npm registry.

NPM is a package manager for Node.js packages, or modules if you like.
www.npmjs.com hosts thousands of free packages to download and use.
The NPM program is installed on your computer when you install Node.js
What is a Package?
A package in Node.js contains all the files you need for a module.
Modules are JavaScript libraries you can include in your project.
Download a Package
Downloading a package is very easy.
Open the command line interface and tell NPM to download the package you want.
I want to download a package called 'upper-case':
Download 'upper-case':
Now you have downloaded and installed your first package!
NPM creates a folder named 'node_modules', where the package will be placed. All packages you install in the future will be placed in this folder.
My project now has a folder structure like this:
C:UsersMy Namenode_modulesupper-case
Using a Package
Once the package is installed, it is ready to use.
Include the 'upper-case' package the same way you include any other module:
Create a Node.js file that will convert the output 'Hello World!' into upper-case letters:
Example
var uc = require('upper-case');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
res.write(uc.upperCase('Hello World!'));
res.end();
}).listen(8080);
Npm Install
Save the code above in a file called 'demo_uppercase.js', and initiate the file:
Initiate demo_uppercase:
If you have followed the same steps on your computer, you will see the same result as the example: http://localhost:8080
