Docs needs better clarification of npm install
Summary
Bryntum’s “Get Started” pages should include the required npm configuration alongside the installation step.
Problem Statement
The quick-start guides show how to install packages using npm install, but this command fails unless the Bryntum npm configuration has already been set up. That information is located on a different page and is easy to miss for both developers and AI tools, leading to unnecessary installation errors.
Proposed Solution
Add a short note or section directly next to the npm install step explaining that some npm configuration is required beforehand, and link clearly to the relevant documentation. The goal is for all essential steps to be discoverable on the same page.
Alternatives Considered
Expecting users to find the NPM Repository page on their own (works but often overlooked). Assuming AI tools will detect the missing configuration (does not work in practice)
Additional Context
Both developers and AI assistants follow quick-start guides linearly. Without the configuration information at the installation step, onboarding breaks early for no good reason.

Hi @andymcloid 👋
Thanks for the suggestion. We do have a section just before installation but I will make it more obvious with a note. so AI models don't miss it.
