Node.js: How to disable colors in the console?

Question

Im new to node.js and are currently playing around with npm.

I found that the console output is colored in a weird way on my System, i can only read it when i copypaste it into a text editor. Changing the background back to black and the font-color to white also did not help. Here is a screenshot:

How can i disable those colors?

Answer 1

Disable colors in npm using the next command:

npm config set color false

Alternatively, create a new script inside of your package.json with the next format:

  "scripts": {
    "install": "npm install --no-color"
  }

And use it like this from the command line:

npm run install --save <your_package>
