Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

niMan

aka NIM (Node Installation Manager)

npm version
NPM

WARNING:

BETA release so don't expect it to work bugless ..

and is it still just intented to be used on Windows ... (as replacement for NVM)

although it is already working,  
 it still doesn't override your main version of node, that you have already installed  
  (which lets this one was able to boot),  
  In order to have NIM take over, 
   you have to put the 'inuse' folder (which is inside the installation folder),
    inside the PATH environment variable, and make sure it comes before your original node installation path, 
     finally, if you installed it with NPM you may whant to use 'nim root' command,  
      to know where actually is such folder .. 

:D

issues

please note that some version of NPN version has a much too long path name in his dependencies
and that added to an already long path in your current NPM installation
(which is the root of the niMan)
will broke the installation itself ...
I'll fixi it ASAP by let you chose a root folder which has to better have a very short path name to prevent
such silly dep dependencies

Installation - Usage

after cloning the repository wherever you'd like to ..
(or using NPM [''npm install -g niman''])

just type:

nim

at the command prompt ... this will either install required node and packages
or just start the app showing the Usage information ...
(actually you can use whichever command argument you'd like to ..)

NIM uses a two stages loader, so it first checks for his own version of Node (6.2.1, at the moment )
and if not present, downloads it along with corresponding NPM ...
then installs additional ´required´packages,
and finally starts the app as would do it normally ...
