[Bug]: javascript adapter is installing npm scripts each time at start and often fails

[benny000004]

I'm sure that

• [X] This issue is still present in the current beta version of this adapter
• [X] There is no other (open) issue with the same topic (use the search!)
• [X] This issue is not described in the adapter documentation / FAQ (read the docs!)

The problem

I have three modules in javascript to additionally load (dayjs, moment-parseformat, moment). Each time the adapter starts, it reinstalls the modules. If I do not deactivate the javascript adapter at start of iobroker the install fails (ERRNOTEMPTY shows in the log after some time). Sometimes the whole iobroker instance crashes (and I need to manually delete the node_modules folder in iobroker, install it again via "npm i" and then restart it). When ioBroker starts again, the process starts again. If the modules are installed once - why does it install it again at each start? It takes very, very long that the js adapter can start because the installation takes a few minutes (which I can see via running "htop" in the console).
