Problem encountered while downloading dependencies with Snyk

While attempting to set up the dependencies for the W3C Respec project, I encountered this error message:

npm WARN prepublish-on-install As of npm@5, `prepublish` scripts are deprecated.
npm WARN prepublish-on-install Use `prepare` for build steps and `prepublishOnly` for upload-only.
npm WARN prepublish-on-install See the deprecation note in `npm help scripts` for more information.
