🌟 packages and resources that work really well with https://github.com/zkat/npx 🕶



## ✨ npx itself is awesome

`npx` lets you execute npm package binaries without installing them. `npx` is the last thing you need to globally install:

`> npm i -g npx` (this command also updates npx)



Now you can execute tools from npm packages without having to install them globally:



```

> npx cowsay wow

npx: installed 1 in 1.413s

 _____

< wow >

 -----

        \   ^__^

         \  (oo)\_______

            (__)\       )\/\

                ||----w |

                ||     ||

```



you can even use `npx` to view this list of `awesome-npx` tools:

```

> npx awesome-npx

```
