Can i catch an event when a package is installed using npm?

Answer 1

you can add script to the packages.json that make something after and before install

{ "scripts" :
  { "install" : "scripts/install.js"
  , "postinstall" : "scripts/install.js"
  , "uninstall" : "scripts/uninstall.js"
  }
}

or add a hook script

node_modules/.hooks/{eventname}

see this example
