sinwar	c52dbd57f5	provision: Avoid spending 2s reinstalling node/npm. ... Tweaked by tabbott to just check the versions. Fixes #5184.	2017-07-06 17:57:22 -07:00
sinwar	9cab965601	install-node: hardcode the path for npm. ... This replaces nvm in npm-wrapper by harcoding the path the way we do with node. The main benefit is that this saves a few hundred milliseconds every time we invoke npm.	2017-07-06 17:44:28 -07:00
rht	00e057bf44	install-node: bypass nvm wrapper for faster node startup. ... This fixes a significant performance issue with LaTeX rendering (and other things that invoked node) where starting up node took a few hundred milliseconds due to nvm initialization. Tweaked by tabbott to avoid copying the node binary itself, instead using a tiny wrapper script. This is important primarily because it's possible a future version of node will expect to find libraries/dependencies/etc. installed via NVM at some path related to the path of the node binary itself, and that's more guaranteed with this new model. Fixes #4618.	2017-05-09 09:17:54 -07:00
