        Only when mentioned in the readme.

        npm install is used to install specific dependencies for a module. Not all modules make use of dependencies. Modules that make use of dependencies don’t all use the same dependencies.

        Create a working config
        How to add modules

            On the other hand I can’t think of any negative aspect. So if in doubt, just run npm install. If it is not required, it won’t do any harm

                @Damian if you dont intend to develop on modules you can also just do npm install --productive, which just downloads those ones needed for production and doesn’t download the development dependencies.

                Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
