There are a few different points here    Where is the  npmrc file created  How can you download private packages   Running npm config ls -l will show you all the implicit settings for npm  including what it thinks is the right place to put the  npmrc  But if you have never logged in  using npm login  it will be empty  Simply log in to create it   Another thing is  2  You can actually do that by putting a  npmrc file in the NPM package s root  It will then be used by NPM when authenticating  It also supports variable interpolation from your shell so you could do stuff like this     Get the auth token to use for fetching private packages from our private scope   see http   blog npmjs org post 118393368555 deploying-with-npm-private-modules   and also https   docs npmjs com files npmrc   registry npmjs org   authToken   NPM TOKEN    Pointers   http   blog npmjs org post 118393368555 deploying-with-npm-private-modules https   docs npmjs com files npmrc
