Default should be to run installation scripts during installation #85

Open dtgriscom opened 7 years ago

dtgriscom commented 7 years ago

The default behavior of npmbox is to install without executing installation scripts. Although a --scripts option was added recently to enable executing scripts, I would suggest that, since proper installation will often (and even unpredictably) depend on running scripts, the default behavior should be TO run scripts, with a --no-scripts option to disable them if needed.

Is there a common circumstance in which running scripts on installation would be a problem?
