Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 What if the installer is removed from `install.js`? Instead of installing
 the dependencies during the npm installation process, install them
 ''when'' they are needed, i.e. when running the automated tests `npm run
 test` and/or running phpcs.

 Why?

 Yesterday when setting up an environment for manually testing a patch, I
 noticed that the Composer dependencies were installed. For testers doing
 manual testing, this extra step is adds more set up time and is
 unnecessary.
