Put npm install inside start.sh

If you're going to advertise "clone and go" start probably shouldn't do that.

[divmain]

Can you expand on that? It seems like a user will always be doing start.sh and then npm install, I'm trying to think of cases where npm install isn't the next step.

Maybe I just don't see the overall vision for start.sh. As it is now it's just a small set of completely optional project bootstrapping utilities that take care of some of the annoying things that are a part of starting a new project but not a part of a typical workflow.

I'd argue that npm install is a part of a normal workflow for any project seed or otherwise and therefore doesn't belong in start.sh.

$ git clone <project uri>
$ cd <project-name>
$ npm install
$ npm start

That said, calling npm install a second time (if you're used to it) will just noop so there isn't any harm in doing it.

That seems like a reasonable argument. I'll close this and revisit if I think of a good reason to.
