✨ PKGJS-INSTALL ✨

okay bestie, welcome to pkgjs-install — that's section 1 of the manual, aka User Commands, aka the part of the man pages where the actual executable lives 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

pkgjs-install — like, that's the whole name, no cap 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: install ALL the dependencies of a JS project, and whenever there's a Debian package that can do the job, use that instead 🦋

Debian deps where they exist, JS deps where they don't. It's giving efficient. It's giving iconic. Periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — prints this. the "help me bestie" button 🫶
  • --install — if some Debian packages are missing, go ahead and launch the install command 🔥
  • --ignore — missing Debian packages? don't care, didn't ask. ignore them 🙈
  • --install-command — the command used to install missing packages. default is literally "--install-command 'sudo apt install'" ✨
  • --no-link — don't link JS modules from Debian directories, tyvm 🚫
  • --copy — copy modules instead of linking them 🎀
  • --regenerate — force package-lock.json to regenerate, no negotiating 💅
  • --prod — don't install dev dependencies. production mode only, we're being serious now 👑
  • --all — don't remove sub-dependencies of Debian packages (link them and install the wanted dependencies) 🌈
  • --strict — if the Debian version doesn't match, download the JS module (using semver) ⭐
  • --no-package-lock — calculate dependencies without npm, and this implies --no-download. this is the one that lets you run pkgjs-install with no network connection at all 🧚
  • --audit — don't install, don't download, just print the result. a lil look-but-don't-touch moment 😭
  • --no-download — only link the JS modules that are available, download nothing 🦋
real talk: --no-package-lock implies --no-download, so if you're offline that's your girl 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌸 No SEE ALSO, no author drama, nothing else hiding in here — just vibes and flags.

this was pkgjs-install version 0.17.8, from August 2026 🎀 slay, go install ur dependencies, ily 🫶💖✨
