The next time you run the npm start command, the default port used will be 7200 .
To publish and install packages to and from the public npm registry or a private npm registry, you must install Node. js and the npm command line interface using either a Node version manager or a Node installer. We strongly recommend using a Node version manager like nvm to install Node.
node is a framework that can run JavaScript code on your machine while npm is a package manager. Using npm we can install and remove javascript packages also known as node modules. Now, it is not a rule that you should use npm to install and remove node modules.
While many people regularly use npm's website to discover packages, only a few know that npm also provides a public REST API accessible at registry.npmjs.org. This API provides methods to: Get information about the registry itself. Get all available information about a specific package.
When npm installs you project dependencies, it does requests to its registry, which is at https://registry.npmjs.org, so, the answer to your question is HTTPS and 443. HTTP unencrypted web traffic is port 80, HTTPS encrypted traffic is used by most reputable sites and services thus port 443.
