npm install [-g|-D] cipm
When invoked inside an npm project with a package.json and package-lock.json (or an npm-shrinkwrap.json), it will install the specified dependencies and run their install scripts.
The main difference between this and npm install is that cipm is both a small, standalone program, and that it can bypass a lot of the heavier machinery in npm oriented towards interacting with invalid states: cipm completely removes node_modules before beginning the install, if it exists.
cipm also requires that the current project have an existing lockfile, which must first be generated using npm install in npm@5 or later versions (or any other package manager supporting lockfileVersion@>=1).
This tool is ideal for using in CI environments that require regular, full installs of an application, but that are usually able to cache package data in a central cache.
