Question

There is connect-assets in my package.json‘s dependencies. And its package.json looks like:

 "dependencies": {
    "connect-file-cache": "0.2.4",
    "mime": "1.2.2",
    "snockets": "1.3.6",
    "underscore": "1.1.7"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "async": "0.1.14",
    "coffee-script": "~1.3.1",
    "connect": "1.8.5",
    "nib": "0.2.0",
    "bootstrap-stylus": "0.2.0",
    "nodeunit": "0.5.4",
    "stylus": "0.22.2",
    "request": "2.1.1",
    "watchit": "0.0.4",
    "less": "1.3.0"
  }

But when I ran npm install(with or without --dev and --dev-all), it only installed connect-assets, no stylus, nib, etc.

How should I do?

Answer 1

It’s simply because the npm should not work this way. If I want to install the devDependencies of some depended modules, I have to enter their directories.
