Do we need to install nodejs/npm to work? #288

As per documentation "This plugin enables you to run any NodeJS script as part of your build. It does not depend on NodeJS (or NPM) being installed on your system.". But when we try to do nodeinstall command it is throwing not found error(npm.cmd),

I'm aware of node config node { download = true } That means anyhow we are installing nodejs right?

Maybe you need to specify some more config parameters: try adding version, distBaseUrl.

node {
  version = '8.9.4'
  distBaseUrl = 'https://nodejs.org/dist'
  download = true
}

The nodejs version gets downloaded but is not added to the environment variables. I have not found a solution to a similar problem where my build.gradle script calls node. I get the error A problem occurred starting process 'command 'node''.

I have the same problem, if the nodejs not installed on the same machine, then build will fail. Nodejs was downloaded by gradle plugin, but not set to the path maybe.
