5 NPM Alternatives You Should Try

1

Yarn

As a developer, I have used Yarn as an alternative to NPM for managing packages and dependencies in my Node.js projects. One of the things that I love about Yarn is its faster installation times compared to NPM. Yarn's caching mechanism ensures that packages are only downloaded once, which means that subsequent installations are much faster. Additionally, Yarn's parallel installation process allows multiple packages to be installed simultaneously, which further improves installation times.

Verdaccio

Verdaccio is a self-hosted NPM registry that allows you to create a private registry for your organization or team. It can be used as an alternative to the public NPM registry and provides more control over your dependencies. Verdaccio includes features such as scoped packages, user management, and support for multiple storage backends.

Bower

Bower is a package manager specifically designed for front-end web development. It can be used to manage JavaScript, CSS, and HTML packages and dependencies. It was developed by Twitter and is known for its simplicity and ease of use. However, it is worth noting that Bower is no longer actively maintained, and developers are encouraged to use other package managers like Yarn or PNPM instead.
