## Using Verdaccio

|
|
|
Using verdaccio with any node package manager client is quite straightforward.

You can use a custom registry either setting globally for all your projects
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm set registry http://localhost:4873
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or by command line as argument `--registry` in npm (slightly different in yarn)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install lodash --registry http://localhost:4873
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Private

|
|

All packages that you publish are private and only accessible based in your configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Proxy

|
|
|
Verdaccio cache all dependencies by demand and speed up installations in local or private networks.
