# npx

## npx 是什么

npx 是一个工具，它是 npm v5.2.0 引入的一条命令，是 npm 的一个包执行器。

npx 让 npm 包中的命令行工具和其他可执行文件在使用上变得更加简单。

## 例子

### 不使用 npx

```
npm install -g create-react-app
create-react-app test-app
```

### 使用 npx 

```
npx create-react-app test-app
```

{% hint style="info" %}
npm他会在本地全局性的安装create-react-app，这个包会存储在node目录下面去。以后创建react项目直接执行create-react-app命令就可以了。

npx命令他会把create-react-app安装包临时安装上，等项目初始化完成以后，他就删除掉
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mm.ricky.moe/frontend-ecosystem/npm/npx.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
