npx:tldr:87890

npx: Execute the command from a local or remote `npm` package.
$ npx ${command} ${arg1 arg2 ---}
try on your machine

The command you provided is a shell command and it can be used on Unix-based systems like Linux or macOS.

Let's break down the command step by step:

  1. npx: This is a package runner command that comes with the Node.js package manager (npm). It is used to execute packages or commands directly without the need for global installation.

  2. ${command}: This is a placeholder representing the name of a command or package you want to run. You need to replace ${command} with the actual name of the command or package you want to execute.

  3. ${arg1 arg2 ---}: These are also placeholders representing the arguments or options you want to pass to the command or package. Each argument or option should be separated by a space.

So to use this command, you would replace ${command} with the actual name of the command you want to run, and ${arg1 arg2 ---} with the desired arguments or options for that command.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
