The Gatsby Package Manager (gpm) helps you install a Gatsby package with all of its dependencies. It also allows you to read the docs for a package right there in the command line — without having to browse any sites.

gpm i gpm install gatsby-plugin-mdx gpm i gatsby-plugin-mdx ``` [](./../../) ### ❯ Docs for a package Prints the docs, i.e., `readme.md` file of a package in the command line. ```sh # Several ways to run the same command. gpm docs gpm d gpm docs gatsby-plugin-mdx gpm d gatsby-plugin-mdx ``` [](./../../) ### ❯ Configure `npm` or `yarn` The `gatsby-package-manager (gpm)` stores your choice of using `npm` or `yarn` in `~/.config/configstore/gatsby-package-manager.json` file. This choice can be re-configured by using the option `--config` or `-c` when running `gpm`. ```sh gpm --config gpm -c gpm i gatsby-plugin-mdx -c ``` ### ❯ Help documentation You can run `gpm --help` or `gpm -h` to access the help documentation.
[](./../../) ## API: Plugin Authors Make sure you mention all the extra dependencies as `peerDependencies` in the package.json file. The `peerDependencies` in the `package.json` is what `gatsby-package-manager` looks for. For example: The `gatsby-plugin-mdx` has defined two [peerDependencies](https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/master/packages/gatsby-plugin-mdx/package.json#L16-L19) `@mdx-js/mdx` and `@mdx-js/react` which are required for the [installation](https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/master/packages/gatsby-plugin-mdx#installation).
