Streamline installation process #6

Closed blahah closed 10 years ago

blahah commented 10 years ago

Install should ideally be one-line on any operating system.

At the moment we're close to that but there seem to be bugs on multiple platforms. These are associated with:

  1. getting Node itself installed
  2. npm --global requiring root

I think optimally we would not require sudo at all, so that probably means:

  1. using nvm to install Node
  2. setting npm to do global installs into a bin dir in the user's directory

Closing #2 and #3 because they have been installed now, and will be handled long-term by this issue.

With version 0.0.2 of thresher this problem was solved (I hope!) once and for all.
