It gives up the ability to build its own trees or install packages individually, as well as other user-oriented features, in exchange for speed, and being more strict about project state. For documentation about the associated command-line tool, see [`my-precious`](https://npm.im/my-precious). ## Install `$ npm install libprecious` ## Table of Contents * [Features](#features) * [Contributing](#contributing) * [API](#api) ### Features * saves all your dependency tarballs to local files * npm-compatible caching * errors if `package.json` and `package-lock.json` are out of sync, instead of fixing it like npm does. Essentially provides a `--frozen` install. ### Contributing The libprecious team enthusiastically welcomes contributions and project participation! There's a bunch of things you can do if you want to contribute! The [Contributor Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) has all the information you need for everything from reporting bugs to contributing entire new features. Please don't hesitate to jump in if you'd like to, or even ask us questions if something isn't clear. ## ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS `libprecious` is a reimplementation of the concept of [`shrinkpack`](https://npm.im/shrinkpack), with the intention of integrating it directly into npm itself, and using common libraries for increased compatibility. The `libprecious` team is grateful to Jamie Mason and the rest of the `shrinkpack` developers for their support and encouragement!
