How to make installing npm plugins easier?

Question

JavaScript

Hello, I am installing plugins for the project npm install --save gulp-order, etc. But I don't know which ones and exactly how many there should be. Catch through errors one at a time and put them for a very long time in view of their number, how to find out in advance which plugins are needed?
or as a solution to allow installation of everything needed to run (since the name of the missing package is always specified)

If I understand the problem correctly, then do this - create a package.json. In it, prescribe all the programs that you need. I.e:

"dependencies": {
    "bower": "^1.4.1",
    "gulp": "^3.9.0",
    "gulp-autoprefixer": "^2.3.1",
    "gulp-sass": "^2.0.4",
    "preen": "^1.2.0"
  }

After you click write npm install and that's it. Everything that you registered depending on is downloaded
