binary from here and place it on your device.

Why Ship a pkg
-ed Binary?
- Simpler installation for non-Node users like those deploying static files or Dockerfiles.
- Consistency across platforms and installation mechanisms (
npm
,brew
and manual scripts) - Parsing and evaluation optimizations lead to a faster bootup time
- Easier installation in automation environments (like CI systems)
- Increased safety by providing a unified signature mechanism for releases
- We're able to select our own Node version of choice and can take advantage of the latest features
Caught a Bug?
- Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
- Link the package to the global module directory:
npm run link
(notnpm link
) - You can now start using
now
from the command line!
As always, you can use npm test
to run the tests and see if your changes have broken anything.
