[BUG] Bad error wording consequent to typo #3670

Description

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When I entered

$ npm isntall --save-dev kss

I got

npm ERR! The `npm ci` command can only install with an existing package-lock.json or
npm ERR! npm-shrinkwrap.json with lockfileVersion >= 1. Run an install with npm@5 or
npm ERR! later to generate a package-lock.json file, then try again.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/enrico/.npm/_logs/2021-08-20T15_54_49_990Z-debug.log

and so I spent quite a lot surfing the web for a solution... except that there's no problem to solve, as I have simply written isntall instead of install.

Expected Behavior

A better wording such as this:

$ npm isntall --save-dev kss
npm ERR! The `isntall` command does not exist. Do you mean `install`?
