Stop cypress from downloading & unpacking every time
See original GitHub issueIs this a Feature or Bug?
Bug
Current behavior:
When I run npm install cypress everything works nicely 👍 But when I redo the command it is not picking up on the fact that it is already installed and unpacked, which can cost a lot of time.
Desired behavior:
Cypress not downloading and unpacking itself when there is already a cypress folder.
How to reproduce:
npm install cypress on an existing project where cypress is installed already.

Recommendation: use yarn - dont have the problem there.
wanted to chime-in since I landed here trying to figure out why yarn was rebuilding cypress from scratch every time I ran
yarn add x😕though it looks like a fix for that should be landing in yarn soon
