On other platforms, it is usually bundled with node. Mac users are using
"brew install node". Arch users are installing it through "pacman -S
npm", FreeBSD users have it in their ports, Gentoo users have in their
tree, etc. For Debian/Ubuntu, there is a third-party repository. Myself,
I install it through nix. There is also nvm which is a kind of package
manager for installing a precise version of npm/node.
