I've been testing and experimenting over the past week or so with installing Node.js-specific packages - without using npm
because somebody claimed Can this be used to create/download npm as a standalone executable? #3237
npm can’t be eliminated from the equation when you’re dealing with JavaScript ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Well, let's see about that...
First I had to get all of the dependencies from package.json
and/or package-lock.json
file. Turns out different packages can depend on different versions of the same named module. Ever hear about "callback hell"? Well, Node.js module dependency system can be dependency hell.
Fortunately for me, due to personal reasons I am evil now (TM) (Rebel Circus). So I fit right in in hell, hell I thrive in chaos.
