How to install a package properly?

[bencao]

For example, if I would like to install aws-sdk package, what should I do?

Hi @bencao. You are in a standard Node environment, so NPM packages work the same way. You can either npm i aws-sdk from your terminal, or if you're in the Cloud Shell, you can type install aws-sdk. You'll then import what you need into your main file (e.g. index.js).

Having some difficulty installing a bigger package. If there's an option to force upload my local directory to an instance would be great.

The cloud process just quit after npm i aws-sdk and the error looks like

Missing x records

@bencao is this still an issue? There have been fixes related to the sync process that should have fixed that error.
