Steps to reproduce:

• Clone project
• Run npm install

What happened: The republish script was run, resulting in this error:

npm WARN prepublish-on-install As of npm@5, `prepublish` scripts are deprecated.
npm WARN prepublish-on-install Use `prepare` for build steps and `prepublishOnly` for upload-only.
npm WARN prepublish-on-install See the deprecation note in `npm help scripts` for more information.

To solve this error for me locally, I removed the prepublish script from the package.json.
