36 ### Description
37
38 npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment variables, `npmrc` files, and in some cases, the `package.json` file.
39
40 See [npmrc](/cli/v6/configuring-npm/npmrc) for more information about the npmrc files.
41
42 See [config](/cli/v6/using-npm/config) for a more thorough discussion of the mechanisms involved.
43
44 The `npm config` command can be used to update and edit the contents of the user and global npmrc files.
45
