Elan makes it actually quite easy. It's among the better package managers out there, comparable to cargo. There's a single bash script to install both the runtime and the package manager on a variety of platforms, and the integrated build system and native module bundler is both powerful and isomorphic, so all you need to learn is Lean. Without any prior knowledge of Lean I was able to patch existing build scripts to support platform specific C extensions in less than half an hour.
