Fix duplicate dependency installation in install generator

Root cause: JavaScript dependency methods in BaseGenerator were public,
causing automatic execution when generators were invoked. This led to
dependencies being installed twice when using --redux option.

Changes:
- Move dependency installation methods to private in BaseGenerator
- Add explicit dependency management in InstallGenerator
- Make Redux generator's success message method public
- Ensure success messages appear correctly for all installation types

Fixes duplicate installations while maintaining all existing functionality.
All 51 generator tests pass.
