How can I upload artifacts to nexus using linux command line? I am working on node.js, npm project? dist folder have been created using npm install and npm run build commands. But now I don’t know how to upload artifacts? Can someone explain this to me because I am new to these things.

I used this command,

curl --upload-file dist.tgz -v -u admin:zone@123 [http://192.168.94.136:8081/repository/frontend\_snap/hosted/zissa/dist.tgz](http://192.168.94.136:8081/repository/frontend_snap/hosted/zissa/dist.tgz)

But I am getting error.
