Command to use restoring npm packages

Question

When I download a project from my repo with a package.json in its root, which command is the right one to use npm install or npm install restore?

Answer 1

The behaviour of npm install is

• npm install without any argument will install all packages found in package.json in node_modules folder.

• npm install <package_name> will install package_name. In your case will download restore package and will save it in node_modules folder. (https://www.npmjs.com/package/restore)

Answer 2

Just type:

npm i

From help:

>npm i -h

npm install (with no args, in package dir)
npm install [<@scope>/]<pkg>
npm install [<@scope>/]<pkg>@<tag>
npm install [<@scope>/]<pkg>@<version>
npm install [<@scope>/]<pkg>@<version range>
npm install <folder>
npm install <tarball file>
npm install <tarball url>
