custom install script for installing updates

[murtuzaalisurti]

is it possible to have a custom install script when ncu updates packages? for example, for npm, i want to have a sfw firewall before running npm install, so how can i tell ncu to do that?

something like this:

sfw npm install

i know doctor command has an option to configure the custom install script, but is it possible without the doctor command?

If you have a custom install script, it is recommended that you disable post-upgrade install with ncu --install never and then run your own install script separately. Installing dependencies is quite independent from the upgrade process, and is not essential to how npm-check-updates works.
