I find this package in one page, when i search how to ues bowserify build angular project. It use napa to install angualr module to node_modules. because angular module haven't been published in npm. But without this usage, I can't know where to use it. Npm also support install via git.

So, I want to know where this package used to . In the other hand, Why I use napa instand of npm. Or, What's purpose of this package.

I'm Chinese. English is my second language. if spelling error or syntax error occured, sorry. Thanks.

napa is for installing packages that don't have a package.json file. npm can install via git but only if the repo has a package.json.

I recommend opening an issue on the original package and request to add a package.json. My preference is to use npm whenever possible. Then only use napa with npm when a package author is unresponsive or refuses to add npm compatibility.
