Command to Use Restoring Npm Packages

When I download a project from my repo with a package.json in its root, which command is the right one to use npm install or npm install restore?

The behaviour of npm install is

  • npm install without any argument will install all packages found in package.json in node_modules folder.

  • npm install <package_name> will install package_name. In your case will download restore package and will save it in node_modules folder. ()
