Question

I want to automate the npm login process via a bash script.

I tried it with this snippet:

/usr/bin/expect -f - <

        

Answer 1

using with npm-cli-login package it worked

# npm install -g npm-cli-login
# npm-cli-login -u myUser -p myPass -e t@ex.com -r http://192.168.56.1:4873

Checking if it is installed or not:

# whereis npm-cli-login
npm-cli-login:
# whereis npm-cli-login | grep '/npm-cli-login' -ic
0

After installation:

# npm install -g npm-cli-login

Check if it is installed:

# whereis npm-cli-login
npm-cli-login: /usr/bin/npm-cli-login
# whereis npm-cli-login | grep '/npm-cli-login' -ic

Let's login:

# npm-cli-login -u myUser -p myPass -e t@ex.com -r http://192.168.56.1:4873
