```shell
npm build [<package-folder>]
```
* `<package-folder>`:
A folder containing a `package.json` file in its root.
### Description
This is the plumbing command called by `npm link` and `npm install`.
It should generally be called during installation, but if you need to run it
directly, run:
```bash

```
