 # heroku-buildpack-npmrc
+A Heroku buildpack for overriding the .npmrc file in the build directory with the contents of a config var. Useful for authorizing with npm when installing private packages.
+
+## Configure Multiple Buildpacks
+### _Option 1:_ Heroku CLI or Dashboard
+Add the buildpack to your Heroku app either using the CLI or the Heroku dashboard. The `heroku-buildpack-npmrc` needs to run before any buildpack using npm. In the following example, it runs before the `heroku/nodejs` buildpack.
+```bash
+$ heroku buildpacks:set --index 1 https://github.com/debitoor/heroku-buildpack-npmrc.git
+$ heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs
+```
+
+### _Option 2:_ Use `heroku-buildpack-multi`
+Instead of setting the buildpacks directly with Heroku they can also be configured using a `.buildpacks` in combination with [`heroku-buildpack-multi`]( https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-multi).
+
+``` bash
+$ heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-multi.git  
+```
+
+The same example given for the CLI use would have the following `.buildpacks` file.
+
+``` bash
+$ cat .buildpacks
+https://github.com/debitoor/heroku-buildpack-npmrc.git
+https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git
+```
+
+## Configure Config Var
+Add the NPMRC config var in Heroku with the contents of your .npmrc file.
+
+``` bash
+ $ heroku config:set NPMRC=//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
+```
