npm install #uiw/react-monacoeditor --save
VS
npm i #uiw/react-monacoeditor
What is the difference between following npm install statements when to use --save flag?
Currently they will not differ at all. Since NPM 5 packages are automatically saved into package.json dependencies when installed.
npm I is the short version of npm install so that part of the command does not differ at all either.
You can read more about the install command here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-install
And there is does say “ npm install saves any specified packages into dependencies by default.”

Simply npm install doesn't work for alias packages, I need to do it like this
Sample:
npm install element-ui-fix-input#npm:element-ui#2.3.2
The aliased package is not affected if I do npm install. Any suggestions what can I do?
I need to install lodash.filter to my Expo (React Native) project.
How should I do it using npm?
1.
npm i -g npm
npm i --save lodash.filter
npm i --save lodash.filter
I do not understand what npm i -g npm (it's updating something, but I think it will destroy my project).
$ npm i -g npm
$ npm i --save lodash
you can use second command.
npm i is the alias for the npm install and -g means gloabal
The -g or --global argument will cause npm to install the package globally rather than locally
npm install (in package directory, no arguments):
Install the dependencies in the local node_modules folder.
Just follow the command that are written in documentation it will be fine
The --save option instructed NPM to include the package inside of the dependencies section of your package.json automatically, thus saving you an additional step.
I have a web application with some packages defined in package.json after I run npm install all dependencies are resolved. However when I add some packages after that to package.json and run npm install again nothing happens. I did the work around by typing npm install --save lodash and it downloaded the dependency and updated packages.json. It works, but let's imagine the scenario when I want to add 10 or more packages. Then it would be easier for me to just add them to package.json and run npm install but this does not work :/. So what would be the solution for the problem off adding more packages after initial npm install?

What is the difference between npm -g(global) install and npm --save?
First gulp install -g and --save first, then for other projects:
npm i gulp --save-dev Can I just use this command?
I don't know the basic difference between them?
npm -g will install packages globally (to npm cached folder), normally in AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules if you're using Windows, while npm --save or --save-dev will install package directly to your node_modules directory in your project and add package to your packages.json for later purpose.
pretty new to grunt and just trying to use uncss. Notice their is 2 way to install it with npm:
npm install uncss --save-dev and
npm install grunt-uncss --save-dev.
Besides one using phantom.js is their any difference ?? Pretty confused here.
Those are actually for two different packages:
npm install uncss --save-dev is for the uncss npm package.
npm install grunt-uncss --save-dev is for the grunt plugin for uncss
The difference between the two
One you can use with Grunt.js (grunt-uncss), the other you can't (without writing your own task that calls the module)
