### Skip Pact binary downloading

You can also force Pact to skip the installation of the binary application by
setting `PACT_SKIP_BINARY_INSTALL=true`. This could be useful if you want to prevent
Pact from downloading the Pact binary at the time of `npm install`.
You can also force Pact to skip the installation of the binary during `npm install` by
setting `PACT_SKIP_BINARY_INSTALL=true`.This feature is useful if you want to speed up
builds that don't need Pact and don't want to modify your projects dependencies.

Note that pact-node will not be functional without the binary.

```bash
PACT_SKIP_BINARY_INSTALL=true npm install
