Installing a forked react component library with npm

I am trying to npm install a fork of a good project with a lot of flaws https://github.com/codyc4321/react-data-components. We need our own copy of it and to make changes, so I forked it and deleted it from the repo.

cchilders:~/work_projects/myproject (feature/investigate-fixing-react-data-components-table) 
$ rm -rf node_modules/react-data-components/

cchilders:~/work_projects/myproject (feature/investigate-fixing-react-data-components-table) 
$ atom .

cchilders:~/work_projects/myproject (feature/investigate-fixing-react-data-components-table) 
$ npm i https://github.com/codyc4321/react-data-components

If I delete this and install the same code with npm i react-data-components, it works. The code is the same because I haven't made my changes yet, and I'm surprised the same code doesn't install. Putting his code inside our project (but not in node modules) caused a syntax error with the word static and probably because there's some TypeScript in his code.

How do I install this fork with npm so I can update my changes when I make them?

Clone the project to a local directory and then run npm install /path/to/cloned/directory
