Prerequisites

TuxCare registry token — contact [email protected]

Create or update the .npmrc file
Navigate to the root directory of your Nuxt project and create a .npmrc file or update it if it already exists.
Example:
```
my-nuxt-project/
├── node_modules/
├── package.json
├── .npmrc         ⚠️ ← Create it here
└── package-lock.json
```
Configure the npm registry
Use an editor of your choice (e.g., VS Code) to add the following registry address lines to the .npmrc file:
```
registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
@els-js:registry=https://nexus.repo.tuxcare.com/repository/els_js/
//nexus.repo.tuxcare.com/repository/els_js/:_auth=${TOKEN}
```
Replace ${TOKEN} with the token you received from [email protected].
Update dependencies
Update your package.json file to add the following overrides for the TuxCare packages:
Choose Nuxt version:
```
"dependencies": {
  "nuxt": "npm:@els-js/nuxt@>=3.12.4-tuxcare.1"
},
"overrides": {
  "[email protected]": "npm:@els-js/nuxt@>=3.12.4-tuxcare.1"
}
```
Refresh the project dependencies
Remove node_modules, package-lock.json, and clear the npm cache:
```
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json && npm cache clean --force
```
Install dependencies:
```
npm install
```
The token for the TuxCare repository is automatically picked up from your .npmrc file.
Verify the setup
Use npm to list the project's dependencies and confirm that npm resolves TuxCare packages correctly:
```
npm list
```
After reviewing the dependencies, run your application to ensure everything works correctly. The npm tool identifies and resolves dependencies from the TuxCare ELS for Nuxt repository.
