I'd like to create application bundle with all it's dependencies, so it can be installed on any platform without need of internet connection (other case is that it shouldn't be dependent on npm repository state - let's say I want to be sure I can install it without issues in 5 years time).
So technically all packages with it's dependencies need to be downloaded as usually `npm install` does, but compile step shouldn't proceed. Afterwards when I load such bundle on any platform, `npm install` should (without need of downloading anything) just compile already present packages for given platform,

Daniel, I think 'npm rebuild' may work for installation of already created bundle, but still what's missing is how to download all dependencies into correct folders without compiling them.

Bradley thanks, it's probably best way to install bundle that was already prepared, but do you know the way how can I create such bundle? This is what I'm missing (!) :)

``` npm i && cat package.json | json -e "this.bundledDependencies='$(for FILE in $(ls -A node_modules); do printf "$FILE "; done)'.split(/ /)" > package.json && npm pack ```
We do something a bit more complex on our build server but this covers most cases (wont set env variables when spawning npm and such so rebuild-bundled will have to be set when you `npm i` on any other server if it has install scripts that need running even if it was bundled).
