Research direction

Start with the ui5 init command and inspect how it currently detects the project type. Determine how dependencies on libraries, components, and themes should be discovered, and whether the command should print installation hints such as npm install @openui5/.... Done means ui5 init detects those dependencies and provides the requested guidance.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

module/ui5-cli

Expected Behavior

When executing "ui5 init", the command should not only detect the project type but also dependencies to other libraries, components and themes.
It might give hints for further steps, such as printing npm install @openui5/... to install the dependencies.

Current Behavior

"ui5 init" only detects the project type but not dependencies.
