Note: pending imminent deprecation

March 25, 2020 ยท View on GitHub

This module will be deprecated once npm v7 is released. Please do not rely on it more than absolutely necessary.

libcipm installs npm projects in a way that's optimized for continuous integration/deployment/etc scenarios. It gives up the ability to build its own trees or install packages individually, as well as other user-oriented features, in exchange for speed, and being more strict about project state.

For documentation about the associated command-line tool, see cipm.

Install

$ npm install libcipm
