We strongly recommend using a node version manager like nvm to install node.js and npm. Individual dependencies cannot be added with this command Description to publish and install packages to and from the public npm registry, you must install node.js and the npm command line interface using either a node version manager or a node installer

Install the dependencies to the local node_modules folder
By default, npm install will install all modules listed as dependencies in package.json. When npm is used to install itself, it is supposed to copy this special builtin configuration into the new install. Causes npm to install the package into your local node_modules folder with the same layout it uses with the global node_modules folder Only your direct dependencies will show in node_modules and everything they depend on will be flattened in their node_modules folders.
When installing locally, npm first tries to find an appropriate prefix folder This is so that npm install foo@1.2.3 will install to the sensible root of your package, even if you happen to have cd ed into some other folder. Description this command allows you to run an arbitrary command from an npm package (either one installed locally, or fetched remotely), in a similar context as running it via npm run Npm ci can only install entire projects at a time
