+Alternatively, if you want to have control on the execution of npm tasks

+```ruby
+# Capfile
+require capistrano/npm/without_hooks

 ### Dependencies
 
 npm allows for normal `dependencies` and `devDependencies`. By default this gem uses `'--production --silent --no-progress'` as the install flags which will **only** install `dependencies` and skip `devDependencies`. If you want your `devDependencies` installed as well, then remove `--production`.
