README

Note: pending imminent deprecation

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
