Try to concatenate your variable with the command and add the path of your angular project to the cwd argument:

child = exec("npm install --save" + module_ins,
{
  cwd: '/path_to_angular_project'
},
function (error, stdout, stderr) {
...

Or using Template literals:

child = exec(`npm install --save ${module_ins}`,
{
  cwd: '/path_to_angular_project'
},
function (error, stdout, stderr) {
...
