下面是简单的定义。 NPM是一个包管理器，你可以使用NPM安装node.js包

NPX是一个执行node.js包的工具。

另一方面，npx使用的包并不是全局安装的，所以你必须担心长期的污染。

NPX是一个执行node.js包的工具。

NPM是用来安装包的工具，NPX是用来执行包的工具。 如果你想通过npm运行一个包，那么你必须在你的包中指定这个包。并在本地安装它。 npx-一个包不需要安装就可以执行。它是一个npm包运行器，所以如果任何包还没有安装，它会自动安装它们。

包管理器

npx -执行npm包

这就是它的不同之处。

Web developers can have dozens of projects on their development machines, and each project has its own particular set of npm-installed dependencies. A few years back, the usual advice for dealing with CLI applications like Grunt or Gulp was to install them locally in each project and also globally so they could easily be run from the command line. But installing globally caused as many problems as it solved. Projects may depend on different versions of command line tools, and polluting the operating system with lots of development-specific CLI tools isn’t great either. Today, most developers prefer to install tools locally and leave it at that. Local versions of tools allow developers to pull projects from GitHub without worrying about incompatibilities with globally installed versions of tools. NPM can just install local versions and you’re good to go. But project specific installations aren’t without their problems: how do you run the right version of the tool without specifying its exact location in the project or playing around with aliases? That’s the problem npx solves. A new tool included in NPM 5.2, npx is a small utility that’s smart enough to run the right application when it’s called from within a project. If you wanted to run the project-local version of mocha, for example, you can run npx mocha inside the project and it will do what you expect. A useful side benefit of npx is that it will automatically install npm packages that aren’t already installed. So, as the tool’s creator Kat Marchán points out, you can run npx benny-hill without having to deal with Benny Hill polluting the global environment. If you want to take npx for a spin, update to the most recent version of npm.
