Franklin Webber a9726910ff Fixes resources in the docs
* Fixes the npm package example to state 'npm' vs 'gem'
* Fixes powershell resource to specify the resource instead of 'script'
* Updates the example to rename variable 'script'

While ruby would allow the local variable and the presence of the InSpec method at the same time I think that it is bad form. Other resource examples also use 'script'.

* Changes pip to show generic example

Other package like resources show a generic example in the default.

title: About the npm Resource
---
# npm
Use the `npm` InSpec audit resource to test if a global NPM package is installed. NPM is the the package manager for Node.js packages (https://docs.npmjs.com), such as Bower and StatsD.
## Syntax
A `npm` resource block declares a package and (optionally) a package version:
describe npm('npm_package_name') do
it { should be_installed }
end
where
* `('npm_package_name')` must specify an NPM package, such as `'bower'` or `'statsd'`
* `be_installed` is a valid matcher for this resource
## Matchers
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers:
### be
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_be" %>
### be_installed
The `be_installed` matcher tests if the named Gem package and package version (if specified) is installed:
it { should be_installed }
### cmp
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_cmp" %>
### eq
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_eq" %>
### include
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_include" %>
### match
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_match" %>
### version
The `version` matcher tests if the named package version is on the system:
its('version') { should eq '1.2.3' }
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### Verify that bower is installed, with a specific version
describe npm('bower') do
it { should be_installed }
its('version') { should eq '1.4.1' }
end
### Verify that statsd is not installed
describe npm('statsd') do
it { should_not be_installed }
end
