- A command-line utility that comes bundled with npm (Node Package Manager) and that executes Node.js packages without requiring global installation. npx can run packages directly from the npm registry, execute locally installed packages, and run packages from a specific version or remote location. It is useful for running one-off commands, trying packages without installing them permanently, or ensuring use of the latest version of a tool without managing global installations.
