running `npm install` does not run the postinstall script

[dbj]

running npm install does not run the postinstall script

Steps to Reproduce

1. clone elm-pages-starter
2. run npm install
3. notice that the post-install script does not run

Configuration

I'm running on macOS Big Sur 11.1 on Apple Silicon (M1).

Fix

For "postinstall" to run after an npm install, it needs to be in the "scripts" object.

package.json currently is:

{
  "name": "elm-pages-example",
  "private": true,
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "elm-pages develop",
    "serve": "npm run build && http-server ./dist -a localhost -p 3000 -c-1",
    "build": "elm-pages build"
  },
  "postinstall": "elm-tooling install",
  "dependencies": {
    "elm-pages": "^1.5.4"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "elm-tooling": "^1.0.0",
    "http-server": "^0.12.3"
  }
}

package.json should be:

{
  "name": "elm-pages-example",
  "private": true,
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "elm-pages develop",
    "serve": "npm run build && http-server ./dist -a localhost -p 3000 -c-1",
    "build": "elm-pages build",
    "postinstall": "elm-tooling install"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "elm-pages": "^1.5.4"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "elm-tooling": "^1.0.0",
    "http-server": "^0.12.3"
  }
}
