+## Usage
+npmci is designed to work in docker CI environments. The following docker images come with npmci presinstalled:
+
+Docker Hub:
+```
+hosttoday/ht-docker-node // has lts node version preinstalled. Change it with npmci
+hosttoday/ht-docker-node-python-3 // like ht-docker-node, but with python3 instead of python2.7
+```
+
+npmci can be called from commandline:
+```shell
+# Install any node version:
+npmci install lts # will install latest LTS node version and update PATH for node and npm versions
+npmci install stable # will install latest stable node version and update PAth for node and npm
+npmci install x.x.x #  will install any specific node version.
+
+# Install any node version, install dependencies and run test in cwd:
+npmci test lts // will install latest lts node version and run "npm install" and "npm test".
+
+# publish npm module
+npmci publish // will look vor $NPMCITOKEN env var and push any module in cwd to npm   
+```
