# Installing Packages

You can install packages from npm to use in your Zuplo Gateway. This can help
with code completion and hover tips.

However, bear in mind, these might not work out-of-the-box in the cloud (for
example, working-copy and edge environments), as Zuplo for security reasons
doesn't allow all packages to be installed. Consult
[Node Modules](../programmable-api/node-modules.mdx) for the official list of
supported modules.

There are workarounds though. If you need a package to be available, you can try
to _bundle_ it. This will bypass the `npm install` step since the module is
already bundled and available. We've an example at
[Custom Modules](https://github.com/zuplo/zuplo/tree/main/examples/custom-module)
that you can follow.

We're looking into ways to simplify bringing in your own modules. We're
proceeding carefully as we want to ensure that we can provide a secure and
reliable experience for our users. Please contact
[Zuplo support](mailto:support@zuplo.com) if you need more assistance.
