What is npm?

npm stands for Node Package Manager. It is a command-line tool that helps developers manage libraries and packages for JavaScript projects.

With npm, you can easily install, update, and share code packages that others have created. For example, if you want to use a library for making HTTP requests, you can simply run a command like 'npm install axios' to add it to your project.

npm also helps manage dependencies, which are packages that your project needs to work correctly. This makes it easier to keep track of what your project relies on and ensures that everyone on your team is using the same versions.
