Can I use eleventy installed in node_modules?

[Mike]

Hello, I'm new to eleventy and have a question while starting with this repo.

I'm curious about why the scripts in package.json be using npx @11ty/eleventy instead of eleventy installed in node_modules with npm install since @11ty/eleventy is already added as a dependency?

I am changing package.json to below

   "scripts": {
-    "build": "npx @11ty/eleventy",
-    "bench": "DEBUG=Eleventy:Benchmark* npx @11ty/eleventy",
-    "watch": "npx @11ty/eleventy --watch",
-    "serve": "npx @11ty/eleventy --serve",
-    "start": "npx @11ty/eleventy --serve",
-    "debug": "DEBUG=* npx @11ty/eleventy"
+    "build": "eleventy",
+    "bench": "DEBUG=Eleventy:Benchmark* eleventy",
+    "watch": "eleventy --watch",
+    "serve": "eleventy --serve",
+    "start": "eleventy --serve",
+    "debug": "DEBUG=* eleventy"
   },

I assume the functionality will still be the same after the change and the performance will be better because it skips the npx stuff and uses eleventy installed in node_modules.

But I may probably be wrong, please correct me if so, thanks.
