Is it possible to support NPQ as a package manager installer so we can have better security guidance on what we are installing?

Alternatively, if NCU could output the list of installs so the output could be chained into a custom command? Such as ncu -u --drystring outputting a dry run string of sinon@7.2.2 eslint@5.11.1 so we can then easily call npq install $(ncu -u --drystring)

That's a great idea! New package managers can be added fairly easily, as described here: https://github.com/tjunnone/npm-check-updates/tree/master/lib/package-managers

The ncu command by default is a dry run and does not update anything. There is ncu -j which outputs json, which might be easiest to transform into an install command. It will require either some additional shell or js scripting to convert.
