@awentzel - can this be installed during a build?

[awentzel]

@alepauly we have been installing during the build for a few years. However, it takes twice as long to install on Windows as Linux or Mac. Lerna is very common for enterprise projects. Oddly, building on Windows, in general, takes 36% longer with twice the memory and same cores as Circle CI. Trying to find a way to squeeze faster builds out of Windows environments or we'll have to keep using Circle CI. We can Linux, but, it would be nice to run on Windows to ensure reliability for Windows users.
