title: NPM - How to install contents of a repo in specified directory
body: <p>I saw this question but it didnt quite answer my needs: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14469515/how-to-npm-install-to-a-specified-directory">How to npm install to a specified directory?</a> </p>
  
  <p>I have a repo that contains all my sass boilerplate that I use on projects. I would like to include it in my projects via NPM or some other means, but I cant have it in a <code>node_modules</code> directory (or <code>bower_comonents</code>).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to <code>npm install</code> / <code>bower install</code> the contents of a repo (or package) to a directory thats not a <code>node_modules</code> or <code>bower_components</code>? </p>
