libcipm installs npm projects in a way that's optimized for continuous integration/deployment/etc scenarios. It gives up the ability to build its own trees or install packages individually, as well as other user-oriented features, in exchange for speed, and being more strict about project state.

For documentation about the associated command-line tool, see cipm.
