gitignore file, then npm will ignore the stuff matched by the . gitignore file. If you want to include something that is excluded by your . gitignore file, you can create an empty .
The --ignore-scripts argument will cause npm to not execute any scripts defined in the package. json. See scripts . The --legacy-bundling argument will cause npm to install the package such that versions of npm prior to 1.4, such as the one included with node 0.8, can install the package.
