Missing cypress dependency

[ehmicky]

Some users are using this plugin and forgetting to install cypress in their Netlify Site. This makes their builds crash
This could be solved either by:

• adding a try/catch block around cypress install calling utils.build.failBuild() with an error message explaining cypress must be installed by user. Downside: more work for the user and more potential for errors.
• make cypress a dependencies instead of a devDependencies. Downside: user cannot choose their version of cypress.

What do you think?

Tested it out, yeah the error is confusing

I think catching it and adding an error message "Did you forget to include Cypress NPM dependency?" would be much nicer

Hi guys,
I'm experiencing the error: Error: Failed to install Cypress. Did you forget to add Cypress as a dev dependency?
I have cypress listed in my devDependencies but I can't make it work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in forward!
