Description

I have mongodb already installed on my system. The npm install which was ran at the end of yo rest started the mongodb-downloader (wich failed, and so I noticed it was there).

I'm not able to trace which package's postinstall script this caused or what. I don't need mongodb to be downloaded. Is there a way to skip this whole downloading-mongodb-thingy?

Thanks, Jakub

Research direction
Look at the package.json scripts and postinstall hooks to identify which package runs mongodb downloader. Check if there is an existing environment variable or configuration option to skip it. If not, propose adding one.
