# exec-npm-install

Calls npm install in a child_process to prevent npm to take too much memory

### Usage

```js

var execNpmInstall = require('exec-npm-install');

var options = {

  // modules to install

  modules: [

    'kevoree-node-javascript',

    'kevoree-comp-ticker',

    'kevoree-group-ws'

  ],

  // install path (nb. '/path/to/somewhere' => '/path/to/somewhere/node_modules')

  prefix: '/path/to/somewhere'

};

execNpmInstall(options, function (err) {

  if (err) {

    console.log('Error: '+err.message);

  } else {

    console.log('Install sucess');

  }

});

```

> **NB.** When you specify a `prefix`, `npm` will always append to it the `node_modules` folder.
