Description

Currently on install we run all the global npm install commands in the setup_node.zsh file. Is there a way to figure out if they are already installed (for example with exists()) and run conditionally? Do we need to do this or does npm already take care of this?

Research direction

Start with setup_node.zsh and inspect all global npm install commands. Check whether repeated global installs are already handled by npm, then determine whether conditional execution is needed; done means the setup remains correct without unnecessary repeated installs.
