Difference between 'npm & npx '

✔npm is primarily for package management and script execution within your project,

✔while npx is for running packages or commands without the need for global installation.

✔npm is used for managing dependencies and running project-specific scripts,

✔whereas npx is used for running packages or commands on-the-fly.

✔npm requires packages to be globally or locally installed before you can execute them,

✔whereas npx can run packages directly from the npm registry or specific locations without prior installation.

🔦When to Use npm:

✨Use npm when you want to manage dependencies for your project or run scripts defined in your project's package.json file.

✨Use npm to install and manage packages you need for your development or production environment.

🔦When to Use npx:

✨Use npx when you want to run a command or package without installing it globally or when you want to specify the version of the package to use.

✨It's particularly useful for running packages that you don't use frequently, or for running packages with specific versions for one-time tasks.
