How to silence the detailed output logs of `npm install` command?

Question

This might be a silly question, but I really wanted to know is there any way to see only the errors / success logs while running the npm install command by removing details of entire package installation details.

Is there any helpful optional arguments which we can pass along with npm install command which will give only the minimal logs without detailed description of each every dependency installation ?

Answer 1

Yeah, of course, there is.

Try

npm install -s (or --silent)

or

npm install -q (or --quiet)

Answer 2

See this issue on github.

If you are lazy (pick one):

1. Use --silent flag.
2. Set logging level: npm config set loglevel warn. This will print warnings and errors.
