So is this app written in Rust or in JS/TS?
Why is he writting about npm at all if it is Rust?
I've seen few times that people abuse npm to do install of software that is not js, but why force me to install npm?

The "npm distribution method" is for people who already have npm installed, just like apt-get instructions are for people on Debian/Ubuntu, you're not meant to install apt if you happen to be on CentOS, just like you're not supposed to install npm if there is a better installation method for you. Sucks when it's the only installation method, same with curl|bash, I tend to just close the page when that's apparent, haven't missed anything so far.
- mr_mitm 2mo agoIt's convenient for those who already use npm. You are almost always not forced to install npm. You can choose another packaging path (OP supports a multitude) or choose the less convenient path of building it yourself.
- krzyk 2mo agoYes, this software has a vast amount of installation methods. And I find building app myself usually the easiest one.
