I guess this sounds silly but is there a way to do npm install my-module such that it only updates the dependencies section of package.json but doesn't actually go through the install process?

I was using bower in my project for dependency management. But now I wanted to move to node and npm. But the problem is few of my dependencies are not node modules like Smooth-Div-Scroll1 and swiftype-search-jquery2
How to manage all those dependencies in my node project. When I tried doing
"swiftype-search-jquery": "git#github.com:swiftype/swiftype-search-jquery.git",
"smooth-div-scroll": "git#github.com:tkahn/Smooth-Div-Scroll.git",
it is not able to download dependency and throw error
npm ERR! code ENOPACKAGEJSON npm ERR! package.json Non-registry package missing package.json: swiftype-search-jquery#git+ssh://git#github.com/swiftype/swiftype-search-jquery.git. npm ERR! package.json npm can't find a package.json file in your current directory.
These dependencies don't have package.json in their folder.
I don't think it's possible.
Here is a guide to migrate from bower to npm, it's pretty easy.

Yup, It is not possible with NPM but at the same time, it is possible with Yarn without making any change. Instead of "npm install" we have to use "yarn install" .
Add dependencies with git url which is not present with NPM .
I use npm ci to install npm modules and it install same package versions as in package-lock.json
And now I need to add npm module for starting write unit tests, I use this command: npm i jest
I expect that it should add only jest dependencies, but npm update all out-of-date dependencies of 3-5 level dependencies in package-lock.json
I would like to do something like this npm ci --save-dev jest
How to install npm package without changing old dependencies in package-lock.json?
UPD For example, please clone this repo, after that use npm ci and npm i empty-module, if you look at git diff you'll see a lot of changes of package-lock.json file
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?
Node version: v8.1.3
npm version: 5.03
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
I'm writing a npm package, I'd like the package to update package.json file in the installed folder, say:
npm install mypackage
this installs mypackage, and also read the package.json in the folder where npm install is run, and write some entries, possible?
Thanks,
npm i -g npm-check-updates
npm-check-updates -u
npm install
or for a specific package, you may change dependency version and then
npm update --save
How can I make so npm install package will only install the package if there is a newer package in the npm registry.
I mean that it won't even check the dependencies but only the main package I want.
npm update package should do this.
