At this moment when I npm install it only installs root dependencies. In order to install all packages, I need to run npm run bootstrap.
OS: Windows. So I can't tell is it common or only windows issue (but previosly npm install started to install everything inside packages folder)

This should be changed so npm run bootstrap is a required step.

I changed this because bootstrapping is not always needed when adding a root dependency for example, but it does take a huge amount of time.

I added it

```

2. Link `storybook` and any other required dependencies

```
cd packages/react-storybook
npm link

cd <your-project>
npm link @kadira/storybook

# repeat with whichever other parts of the monorepo you are using.
```

### Reproductions

The best way to help figure out an issue you are having is to produce a minimal reproduction. A good way to do that is using Create React App:
The best way to help figure out an issue you are having is to produce a minimal reproduction against the `master` branch.

A good way to do that is using the example `test-cra` app embedded in this repository:

```bash
npm install --global create-react-app getstorybook
# Download and build this repository:
git clone https://github.com/storybooks/storybook.git
cd storybook
npm install

create-react-app reproduction
cd reproduction
getstorybook
cd examples/test-cra

# make changes to try and reproduce the problem, such as adding components + stories
npm start storybook

# see if you can see the problem, if so, commit it:
git init
git checkout "branch-describing-issue"
git add -A
git commit -m "reproduction for issue #123"

# create an new repository on github to host the reproduction, then:
git remote add origin https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>
git push -u origin master
# fork the storybook repo to your account, then add the resulting remote
git remote add <your-username> https://github.com/<your-username>/storybook.git
git push -u <your-username> master
```

If you follow that process, you can then link to the github repository in the issue. See https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/issues/708#issuecomment-290589886 for an example.
