[Question] How to avoid prepare script "Husky install" step when installing a npm package?

[luisxiaomai]

I developed a npm package with prepare script "Husky Install". When someone install this package , it will pop up husky: command not found error.

I know it can be bypassed with adding "--ignore-script" when do install action, but is there another approach to disable prepare script when install this npm package?

Thank you.

Hi,

I suppose you're installing with npm install --production?

You can find different ways to disable prepare or handle missing devDependencies here:

That said, if the package is published to npmjs.com and someone installs it using npm install, prepare script won't run so it shouldn't be an issue.

@typicode thanks

@typicode prepare might get run when installing git dependencies though (mentioned in the npm's docs: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/using-npm/scripts#life-cycle-scripts ).
