So, I've used two methods for two different applications/use-cases:

1. You can create a .npmrc file in your project and add:

     ignore-scripts=true

When to Use This?

If you want to disable scripts for all the packages without affecting others.
For smaller applications with only a few packages, where you're certain that pre-install and post-install scripts won’t be needed, you can safely disable them. (Use with caution: as some packages may need install scripts)

2. Use overrides in package.json:

The best way to block scripts for only one package is by using the overrides field in package.json:

Step 1: Install the Package (Without Running Scripts Initially)

npm install some-package --ignore-scripts

Step 2: Add the following in your package.json:

{
  "overrides": {
    "some-package": {
      "scripts": {}
    }
  }
}

How This Works?

The overrides section tells NPM: "For some-package, remove all scripts." Even if someone runs npm install, the scripts inside some-package will never execute.

When to Use This?

If you want to disable scripts for a specific package without affecting others.
If you work in a team and want to ensure nobody accidentally runs unwanted scripts.
If you want a permanent, project-wide fix.
