+Same process again, but this time for npm.
+
+```bash
+npm init
+
+# or
+
+npm init -y
+```
+
+Open `package.json` and take a look
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "frappecharts",
+  "version": "0.0.1",
+  "description": "",
+  "main": "index.js",
+  "scripts": {
+    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
+  },
+  "author": "",

+```
+
+From Frappe Charts [docs#installation](https://frappe.io/charts/docs#installation):
+
+```bash
+npm install frappe-charts
+```
+
+We now have a dependency in `package.json` and there's a `package-lock.json` file.
+
+```json
+"dependencies": {
+  "frappe-charts": "^1.3.0"
+}
+```
+
+## Ignore node_modules but add package-lock
+
+There's also a `node_modules/` folder with `frappe-charts/` inside.
+Add `node_modules` to `.Rbuildignore` and `.gitignore`.
+(BTW, you can and are supposed to commit `package-lock.json`.)
