gollark: Mostly you can, *after* you've downloaded the packages.
gollark: It's because pulling in external dependencies is more convenient than having to program everything yourself or whatever, although npm has gone too far with `is-number` and `is-thirteen` and whatever.
gollark: That's possible, yes. Most Node.js applications use a lot of packages, because npm.
