Google API Nodejs client 5.2.0 won't install its dependencies

Question

Today I switched to version 5.2.0 but npm (seems to) fails to install its dependencies.

Running my project I get "dependency swig is missing".

If I manually install it (npm install swig) I get "dependency js-beautify is missing".

If I manually install it (npm install js-beautify) I get "Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open './templates/api-endpoint.js'"

Am I missing something or 5.2.0 is just broken?

Thank You.

I've been having this issue as well. A temporary fix is to go inside of googleapis folder, and run npm install in there. For some reason I've been having trouble getting googlepais to download its dependencies.
