Automatically install npm, bower, tsd, and pip packages/dependencies if the relative configurations are found in the gulp file stream respectively

It will run the command in the directory it finds the file, so if you have configs nested in a lower directory than your slushfile.js/gulpfile.js, this will still work.

Used as the install step when using slush as a Yeoman replacement.

Install gulp-install as a dependency:

npm install --save gulp-install

Install gulp-install as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev gulp-install

var install = require("gulp-install");

gulp.src(__dirname + '/templates/**')
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'))
  .pipe(install());

var install = require("gulp-install");

gulp.src(['./bower.json', './package.json'])
  .pipe(install());

To not trigger the install use --skip-install as CLI parameter when running slush or gulp.

Type: Boolean

Default: false

Set to true if npm install should be appended with the --production parameter when stream contains package.json.

Example:

var install = require("gulp-install");

gulp.src(__dirname + '/templates/**')
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'))
  .pipe(install({production: true}));  

Type: Boolean

Default: false

Set to true if npm install should be appended with the --ignore-scripts parameter when stream contains package.json. Useful for skipping postinstall scripts with npm.

Example:

var install = require("gulp-install");

gulp.src(__dirname + '/templates/**')
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'))
  .pipe(install({ignoreScripts: true}));

Type: Boolean

Default: false

Set to true if npm install should be appended with the --no-optional parameter which will prevent optional dependencies from being installed.

Example:

var install = require("gulp-install");

gulp.src(__dirname + '/templates/**')
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'))
  .pipe(install({noOptional: true}));

Type: Boolean

Default: false

Set to true if bower install should be appended with the --allow-root parameter when stream contains bower.json.

Example:

var install = require("gulp-install");

gulp.src(__dirname + '/templates/**')
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'))
  .pipe(install({allowRoot: true}));  

Type: Array or String

Default: undefined

Specify additional arguments that will be passed to the install command(s).

Example:

var install = require("gulp-install");

gulp.src(__dirname + '/templates/**')
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./'))
  .pipe(install({
      args: ['dev', '--no-shrinkwrap' ]} // npm install --dev --no-shrinkwrap
    ));
