How to install npm in alpine linux

So I can't get to install npm in alpine linux. I thought perhaps I can just do a apk add npm but apparently apk search npm returns nothing, even after a apk update. I'm experimenting with all this from the nginx:alpine docker image, i.e. docker run -it nginx:alpine /bin/sh
Edit 1: I can see how the nodejs:alpine dockerfile builds node, but I don't understand how it builds npm
Edit 2: now that I know that npm gets installed with nodejs on alpine, and just for clarification, the reason this wasn't evident to me at first is that on ubuntu 14.04 a sudo apt-get install nodejs would still require a sudo apt-get install npm (which installs development packages e.g. gcc)

I could be wrong, but I think npm is actually a dependency of nodejs.
I've never seen any flavor of package manager install npm alone. Always seems to come packaged with yum install nodejs, or apt-get install nodejs, or apk add --update nodejs.

The package nodejs is no longer installing NPM (see pkgs.alpinelinux.org)

I do not understand it. Npm should be the core dependency of node, npm install npm@latest might be impacted by the node version itself so they would not be compatible...

Agreed, this is normally a dependency, but if you're installing nodejs manually (I was installing it from the 'edge' repo as well because as of now 6.7 is deprecated) then you need to install nodejs-npm separately Here's what I ran: apk add nodejs=6.11.2-r0 nodejs-npm=6.11.2-r0 --update-cache --repository dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main --allow-untrusted

The issue here is a recent one and is due to changes in Alpine's package repositories between v3.5 and v3.6 or edge.
In v3.5 nodejs included npm
In v3.6 nodesjs does not include npm and the new nodejs-npm package exists.
See here for Alpine packages.
To see what version of packages you are pulling from look at the contents of /etc/apk/repositories

For the recent versions of Alpine (v3.8+) the correct way to install nodejs with
npm is:
apk add --update nodejs npm
However, npm package depends on nodejs, so you can do:
apk add --update npm
Note: since Alpine 3.8 there is no nodejs-npm package.

npm comes hand in hand with nodejs.
In the case you cant install node with apk add nodejs, you need fix that first.
Step 1 - do you have the community repo added to your /etc/apk/repositories list? If not, it is very useful to do so. Further details: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Enable_Community_Repository

Agreed, this is normally a dependency, but if you're installing nodejs manually (I was installing it from the 'edge' repo as well because as of now 6.7 is deprecated) then you need to install nodejs-npm separately Here's what I ran: apk add nodejs=6.11.2-r0 nodejs-npm=6.11.2-r0 --update-cache --repository dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main --allow-untrusted

Side question: while this answer works just fine, I can't seem to find
nodejs-npm on pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages. There is npm package which also does the job. Is it some kind of alias?– Tad Lispy

The issue here is a recent one and is due to changes in Alpine's package repositories between v3.5 and v3.6 or edge.
In v3.5 nodejs included npm
In v3.6 nodesjs does not include npm and the new nodejs-npm package exists.
See here for Alpine packages.
To see what version of packages you are pulling from look at the contents of /etc/apk/repositories

For the recent versions of Alpine (v3.8+) the correct way to install nodejs with
npm is:
apk add --update nodejs npm
However, npm package depends on nodejs, so you can do:
apk add --update npm
Note: since Alpine 3.8 there is no nodejs-npm package.

npm comes hand in hand with nodejs.
In the case you cant install node with apk add nodejs, you need fix that first.
Step 1 - do you have the community repo added to your /etc/apk/repositories list? If not, it is very useful to do so. Further details: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Enable_Community_Repository
