Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I don't want to use npm, I like to keep things slim.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow a configuration option which can change commands for certain installers, like npm, to other, less bloated alternatives. I can do this with a cheeky workaround where I symlink npm to yarn, but I would like a more official solution. I'm not asking you to change from npm, I'm just asking for a customization option there.

Describe potential alternatives you've considered

Symlink npm to yarn (weird and buggy (yarn doesn't like install))
Just use npm (I don't feel like compiling npm into my system, and I use yarn anyways)
Use a redirection script (I'll explain) (Too complex for most beginners)
