wnpm CLI

wnpm is a small command-line tool that sits in front of npm install. Use it when you want installs to go through a consistent policy layer instead of calling npm directly.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+ (uses the built-in fetch client)

Install

npm install -g @_wnpm/wnpm-cli

Usage

Install one or more packages (names are checked first, then npm install runs with the resolved list):

wnpm install lodash
wnpm i react react-dom

Install with a version range (same idea as npm):

wnpm i lodash@^4.17.0

Install everything in the current package.json (no package names after install / i):

wnpm install
wnpm i

What you will see

• The CLI prints short status lines while checks run.
• You may be prompted to confirm switching to a suggested version when the service recommends one.
• Some installs may be refused if the service does not allow them under its rules.
• When checks pass, npm install runs with the final package list.

Exact rules and signals live on the server; the CLI is only the client.

Data the CLI sends

For each package being considered, the CLI resolves a concrete version (via npm view locally) and sends package name and version to the wnpm API. It does not read your source code; it uses your arguments and, when applicable, the local package.json dependency names.

Scope

• This tool is focused on the install path (install / i). Other npm subcommands are not the primary use case.
• You need a reachable wnpm API; without it, installs that require checks will fail at the network step.
