npm install multiple package names
What does it do when I run this command:
npm install --save-dev package1 package2
It is definitely not installing multiple packages, but it looks to be essential. (For example https://www.browsersync.io/docs/gulp)
For me it throws following ERRs:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: [email protected]
npm WARN [email protected] No repository field.Solution 1:
Save as dependencies:
npm i package1 package2
Save as dev-dependencies:
npm i -D package1 package2
npm i --save-dev package1 package2
Solution 2:
It is definitely not installing multiple packages
Why? You're installing package1 and package2 and marking them as devDependencies with --save-dev.
As stated in the documentation, you may combine multiple arguments, and even multiple types of arguments. In your case, you're combining 2 package names published on the registry.
Solution 3:
npm install -save module1 module2
Example: npm install -save morgan chalk errorhandler lusca dotenv path mongoose
The above command will install the latest versions of morgan, chalk, errorhandler, lusca, dotenv, path and mongoose.
