如何永久安装MEAN.io软件包

Question

I've installed a Contrib MEAN.io package to my project via the instructions here . The command line is like so:

mean install <package-name>

That added the package to my locally application instance, and it runs there fine. I can see that the package is now in my node_modules directory, and it's compiling in OK. But none of the project configuration files (things that would actually get checked into source control) reflect that the package was installed. Gruntfile.js , package.json , and bower.json are all unchanged after the install command. Further, when I deploy to a different environment the package is not present on the new environment.

How do I permanently alter my project to always include an external MEAN.io package?

Answer 1

Apparently deployment of a MEAN.io Contrib package involves adding it to the package.json file manually:
