How can I make sure this package is completely successfully installed?
Whenever I install a package in NPM I see no error, no successful message.
Maybe I'm little hypochondriac :)

To see if NPM is installed, type npm -v in Terminal. This should print the version number so you'll see something like this 1.4. 28. Create a test file and run it.
npm install downloads a package and it's dependencies. npm install can be run with or without arguments. When run without arguments, npm install downloads dependencies defined in a package. json file and generates a node_modules folder with the installed modules.
It takes us something like 25 minutes to get a master build done. In that process, npm install takes 16 minutes alone. Why is it that bad? The root cause is that npm , node and javascript motto of single responsibility principle leads to dependency hell and spaghetti effect.
Optional dependencies are those packages which are only used when a particular feature of the application is used and will not be required if that functionality isn't used. –no-save: When this command is used with npm install it will not allow the installed packages from being saved into the dependency section.
When your npm module has been installed successfully your last line should show installed module name and version: <name>@<version>, installed directory and the installed module dependencies.
In your case mongojs has been installed successfully and you can see output as follows:
...
[email protected] node_modules/mongojs
├── [email protected]
├── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected])
└── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected])
In case of installation errors you should see some error messages. Also the same information should be stored in npm-debug.log file, created in the current directory.
If I install npm install [email protected] (that version of mongojs does not exits yet so I will not be able to install it successfully) I will get some errors:
I hope that will help.
