file already exists, mkdir '.../elm-format/unpacked_bin

hmm, for some reason i'm getting EEXIST errors when trying to install elm-format

"file already exists, mkdir '.../elm-format/unpacked_bin'"
not sure why the unpacked_bin dir would exist already, though

Maybe try removing it (with `rm -Rf "$(npm root)"/elm-format` or `rm -Rf "$(npm root -g)"/elm-format`) and then try installing again? (edited)

i already removed the whole node_modules folder, but it comes back every install
the unpacked_bin, that is, it's pretty obvious that the node_modules folder would come back^^
i think it has something to do with npm caches
when i do `npm install elm-format` it works, but when i do `npm install` it breaks

i've removed elm-format from my dependencies for now, which makes the install work again

Start by reproducing the difference between `npm install elm-format` and a full `npm install`, focusing on creation of the `unpacked_bin` directory and the reported EEXIST error. Trace the package installation path identified by that reproduction; done means a dependency install completes without the error and elm-format is available.
