Thanks for the feedback.
Are you installing on linux or windows?
For Linux npm can normally be installed via your package manager.

You can proceed without it. But we should update these dependencies in
the next release.

This step is needed if you were using the whoosh index before.
If you didn't there is nothing to do.

If you did create the index before, you can update via 'kallithea-cli
index-create -c ...'  or alternatively via the web UI in Admin >
Settings > Full text search.

Also this may need to be clarified in the documentation...
