Release linux binaries outside of NPM. #207

Closed MicahZoltu closed 6 years ago

MicahZoltu commented 7 years ago

I'm trying to build a docker image with elm and I don't want to have to install NPM just so I can install Elm. Is there some technical reason why the Linux binaries aren't released outside of NPM?

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

@MicahZoltu I guess you can download binaries from the same URL as the npm installer does.

The original suggestion is pretty vague, and it seems like @lydell's suggestion covers the stated problem. If there are specific things you are requesting, please open a new and more specific issue with justification of the value.

I'm not using elm at the moment, so probably won't create a new issue. However, it would be nice if those download links were publicly documented. I shouldn't have to dig through package management source code to find download links.
