npm-init(1) -- Interactively create a package.json file
=======================================================

## SYNOPSIS

    npm init [-f|--force|-y|--yes]

## DESCRIPTION

This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package.json for you.

It attempts to make reasonable guesses about what you want things to be set to,
and then writes a package.json file with the options you've selected.

If you already have a package.json file, it'll read that first, and default to
the options in there.

It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package.json
without a really good reason to do so.

If you invoke it with `-f`, `--force`, `-y`, or `--yes`, it will use only
defaults and not prompt you for any options.
