Install ckeditor 4 version basic via npm

Instead of installing the full version and disabling plugins in the configuration you can get the basic version via npm using the ckeditor-releases repository.

run in terminal:
npm i ckeditor/ckeditor-releases#full/latest --save

or just add to your package.json:

"dependencies": { 

    ... 

    "ckeditor": "github:ckeditor/ckeditor-releases#basic/latest", 

    ... 

 }
