that are defined in the package.json, but that are not installed
that are installed but not defined in the package.json
that are installed but do not satisfy the version defined in the package.json.

Quick fixes to run npm are provided for reported warnings.

Run a script (npm run-script) defined in the package.json by picking a script defined in the scripts section of the package.json.
