# `npm run` Has Some Typo Aliases
The developers of the `npm` CLI know that sometimes we are trying to run
commands in a hurry. It's easy to be trying to type `npm run` and instead type
`npm rum` or `npm urn`. No worries though, the command will still work.
If I run `npm help run`, I'll see a manpage that opens with the following:
```
NPM-RUN(1) NPM-RUN(1)
NAME
npm-run - Run arbitrary package scripts
Synopsis
npm run <command> [-- <args>]
aliases: run-script, rum, urn
...
```
Notice it lists a few _aliases_ including `rum` and `urn`.
Here are two examples of me running my test suite with `rum` and then `urn`.
```bash
npm rum test:run
> test:run
> vitest run
RUN v3.0.7 /Users/lastword/dev/jbranchaud/still
