Is it possible to install package from git repository from downloaded .zip file in npm?

Question

I\'ve downloaded manually master branch of repository via Download ZIP button on GitHub. Now, my question is:

Is it possible to install

Answer 1

It doesnot work with the github zip download unless you unzip the package with his name as the main directory and request the installation with npm on this root directory

Example

download material-design-icons from github
unzip to the directory of your project (or c:\tmp) 
npm install  ./material-design-icons

or npm install c:/tmp/material-design-icons

It work nicely and fast!
