      When do people ever do npm install if you don’t trust the project or know what install scripts will run? I’m a web developer of 10 years and I’ve never run npm install to install a piece of software. The only time I ever run npm is when I’m doing development for work.

          So it doesn’t have any other means of installing I take it.

          Usually I take that as a red flag, that it isn’t popular or mature enough. But to each their own.
