Is there a download-and-install version of NCIDS (vs. download-and-compile-and-use) #1796

The developer directions for NCIDS only speak to a way to use NCIDS that involves using npm, compiling everything with SASS, etc. Is there a way to download everything pre-compiled and use it without having to go through the npm-and-compilation steps?

There are plenty of apps (e.g., Java, Python, Shiny/R, etc.) that don't use node/npm and have no dependencies on needing them, and would instead need to just be able to download the pre-compiled JS/CSS/font/image resources that are needed to use NCIDS.

USWDS has this, and that's how USWDS is used for these non-Node-ecosystem apps (at least unless these type of apps need to modify the source, change colors, etc.).

Note that it looks like CMS has a similar derived-from-USWDS design system, and includes both a download-and-use version as well as a CDN version that can be used simply by reference.
