Node modules are not installed on downloaded

Here are the files that are downloaded to my machine when I install the extension. No node modules are included:

It may be that you did not package them when publishing the extension (https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension). This might be solved by later versions of vsce (microsoft/vscode-vsce#100). An alternative hacky fix for this could be to have npm install . run on the user's machine when they install the extension.

Publishing extensions should not include node_modules.

VS Code handles installation of dependencies itself. If you are experiencing problems installing the extension, I would suspect a problem with VS Code.
