I'd like to be able to do this in a package.json script:

command-exists XYZ || 'echo installing command XYZ'

Can this be done?

Research direction

Start by reviewing package.json and how command-exists is currently invoked from a package.json script. Clarify the expected script syntax and whether the command should return a shell-compatible success or failure status; the work is done when the requested package.json usage is supported and verified with a reproducible script.
