Actual Behavior

In the "Download" and "Get started" section, there's no hint how to install it in NPM and more imporantly: There's no mention of the official package name. I guess it's "p5" but NPM does not prevent any random (evil) guy on the internet to upload and claim a package with the name "p5", so i try to verify what's official or not here. Would be nice, if you could state that in the docs, thank you !

p5.js is not currently designed to be used via NPM packages, publishing on NPM mainly is to help with distributing the library on CDNs. We can't guarantee importing p5.js NPM modules will work so it will not be listed on the downloads page at the moment.
