简单的定义:

NPX

npx代表节点包执行，它随npm而来， 当你在5.2.0版本以上安装NPM时，NPX会自动自动的 安装。它是一个npm包运行器，可以执行任何包 你想从NPM注册表中得到的，甚至不需要安装它 包中。

NPM

npm是JavaScript编程语言的包管理器 的默认包管理器 JavaScript运行时环境。它由一个命令行组成 客户端，也叫npm，是一个公共和付费的在线数据库 私人包

npx是一个npm包运行器(x可能代表eXecute)。使用npx的一种常见方法是下载并临时运行一个包或进行试用。

Create-react-app是一个NPM包，预计在项目的生命周期中只运行一次。因此，最好使用npx在一个步骤中安装和运行它。

正如主页https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx中提到的，默认情况下，npx可以在PATH或node_modules/.bin中运行命令。

注意: 通过深入研究，我们可以发现create-react-app指向一个在节点环境中执行的Javascript文件(在Linux系统中可能是/usr/lib/node_modules/create-react-app/index.js)。这只是一个执行一些检查的全局工具。实际的设置由react-scripts完成，其最新版本安装在项目中。更多信息请参考https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app。

从https://www.futurehosting.com/blog/npx-makes-life-easier-for-node-developers-plus-node-vulnerability-news/:

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.

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。

无论您是在全局还是本地安装该包。NPX将临时安装并运行它。如果你配置了一个包，NPM也可以运行一个包。Json文件，并包括在脚本部分。

所以请记住，如果您想快速检查/运行一个节点包，而不需要在本地或全局安装，请使用NPX。

npM -经理

npX -执行-容易记住

NPX是一个用于在新项目中创建和执行某些特性的工具 NPM是包含所有库的包管理器

NPM与NPX的区别如下:

i) NPM用于安装包，NPX用于执行包。

ii)由于npm的缘故，安装的包必须被照顾，因为它是全局安装的，而npx使用的包不需要被照顾，因为它们不是全局安装的。
