how to Configure EBS to run npm install

Question

I have node.js application I want to deploy to ebs, however I have two package.jsons for the client and the server. My Idea is that I want server to simply serve the built version of the client.
```
client
|-package.json
server
|-package.json
```
I was having a hard time finding in the docs if there was a way to configure the npm install command so it would first run the two installs in each sub directory.

I have nodecommand.config that will start the server ie: 
```
option_settings:
  aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:nodejs:
    NodeCommand: "(cd server && npm run start-prod)"
```
is there a way to do this for the install as well?

You can check this one - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/command-options-specific.html

NodeCommand:
Command used to start the Node.js application. If an empty string is specified, app.js is used, then server.js, then npm start in that order.
