<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm.commands.publish([packages,] callback)
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>Publishes a package to the registry so that it can be installed by name.
Possible values in the 'packages' array are:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code><folder></code>:
A folder containing a package.json file</p>
</li>
<li><p><code><tarball></code>:
A url or file path to a gzipped tar archive containing a single folder
with a package.json file inside.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If the package array is empty, npm will try to publish something in the
current working directory.</p>
<p>This command could fails if one of the packages specified already exists in
the registry. Overwrites when the "force" environment variable is set.</p>
