##What is an npm mirror?
A mirror is simply a read-only copy of the main npm registry. A mirror lets you install any module that exists in npm. The only thing you can’t do is publish updates or new modules.

##How do I use an npm mirror?
The npm command line tool makes it very easy to use a mirror. There are two ways.

###Specify the registry when installing:

$ npm install --registry http://registry.npmjs.org

Update the registry permanently in the config:

$ npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org
