modinst

A highly experimental alternative module installer

Installation

You can install this module normally using npm.

npm install --global modinst

Usage

Download and compile the Symlinks Just Work branch of node, if you haven't already.

git clone --branch v7.2.0-sjw https://github.com/zkochan/node

Be sure to set your path and environment correctly to enable its features.

# ~/.bashrc
# Note, I'm using git-bash on windows... adjust paths accordingly.
export PATH="/c/NodeJSSourceCode/node/Release/:$HOME/.store/v1/node_modules/.bin:$PATH"
export NODE_SUPPORT_SYMLINKS=1

For now, I will just provide an example:

Tests

Tests presuppose that you know what to expect. I really don't know what to expect. Things could change dramatically.
