Install NPM dependancies for sub package which is nested within my main project?

I have a main package.json for my project. I also have a component within my project which I'm publishing to NPM, so that requires its own package.json. 

package.json
index.html
-folder
--component-folder
---package.json

Both package.json files define dependancies. At the moment I have to run npm install from both my project root and from component-folder. Is there a way of making it install dependancies for both when its only run from the project root?

Try using subpackage:

{
    "name": "my-awesome-project",
    "version": "2.5.1",
    "subPackages": [
        "packages/sub-package-1",
        "packages/sub-package-2"
    ]
}
