"resolutions": {
  "ssri": "8.0.5"
Add force-resolutions to the preinstall script so that it patches the package-lock.json file before every npm install:
"scripts": {
  "preinstall": "npx force-resolutions"
Install dependencies
npm install
Remember that whenever you run npm install, the preinstall command will run automatically.
If a package.lock.json is not detected the script will not run, and any other command after it will be executed as normal.
To confirm that the right version of the package you are trying to override was installed, use:
npm ls ssri

Why this project was created
This project was created because npm-force-resolutions became not suitable for the necesities the team I was working in had. We needed to avoid triggering the execution of the script when there was no package-lock.json, descriptive error logs, descriptive logs during the execution, faster download times, compatibility with multiple npm versions and faster execution times.
