This is a how to question, not a problem

I would like use an npm package in my javascript Azure function. How do I get a console in the azure functions portal to run npm install? If there is a better way to reference the npm package, this will answer my question too. A documentation reference with an example of installing the npm package in an Azure function would also be appreciated.

I apologize for this basic question. I am new to both node and azure functions and have enjoyed learning what I have so far, but this simple procedure is eluding me.

Thank you for any help you can give me

You can use the KUDU console at https://yourfunctionappname.scm.azurewebsites.net and navigate to the wwwroot folder and install the package that you need!

Here is an article that i wrote to showcase how you can install python packages!

However when you deploy the azure function package.json will have all the dependencies and you dont need to install them separately.
