I don't know a easy way to install a package via npm form a GitHub repro subfolder. I would clone the repro and install it form the local directory.

To your width problem ... I always use the resizable columns ... as my ui-table handler record all the changes I adjust them by hand visually and if necessary prohibit resizing:

This adds up to 977px ... all collums have the exact spacing as recorded (and played back on connects).

So I have to dig deeper to investigate your problem ....
