Hello, I have an app that I have to install using the command `npm install --force` In reviewing the `community.general.npm` module, I don’t see that as an option anywhere. I also tried searching open & closed issues on GitHub, but was unable to find anyone asking about it… I am curious if anyone has done this with the module? Perhaps one of the other parameters handles this and I just don’t understand the description? Thanks! ---
