+    #
+    # NOTE:
+    # Use the `clean-install` instead of just `install` so that the versions identified in the
+    # package-lock.json file are used instead of attempting to install later versions that might
+    # exist.  This drives consistency between what the developers have been using and what is to
+    # be released.
+    #
+    # NOTE:
+    # Use the `--no-optional` switch to prevent installation of the `ssh2` optional dependency
+    # (i.e., `cpu-features`) package which is used to provide accelerated crypto functionality,
+    # but which is a native add-on and would require platform specific packages.
