npm install: when to use --no-bin-links?
<p>When and why should we use the option <code>--no-bin-links</code> when we install npm packages?</p>
<p>The official docs say:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>The <code>--no-bin-links</code> argument will prevent npm from creating symlinks for any binaries the package might contain.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>But it is still unclear to me for which scenarios we have to specify this.</p>
<p>What will be the impact of the specifying of this option on the functionality of the package? Will the package when used error out?</p>
