Are you interested in taking over my nodeenv-installer? about nodenv

[jasonkarns]

I don't want to speak for anyone else...

But I'm curious, is nodenv-installer significantly different (from a user perspective) than installing via homebrew? I've only ever seen rbenv/nodenv guides show installation through git and homebrew.

I haven't tried through brew actually, does it install node-build as well? If so, then I would probably use brew on OS X instead of the installer.

The installer honestly is super simple and just allows anyone to install nodeenv on any system with one command:

The guts of it is:

NODENV_ROOT="${HOME}/.nodenv"
git clone https://github.com/OiNutter/nodenv.git "${NODENV_ROOT}"
git clone https://github.com/OiNutter/node-build.git "${NODENV_ROOT}/plugins/node-build"

😄

does it install node-build as well

Yeah, there is a homebrew tap specifically for nodenv, node-build, and a bunch of the nodenv plugins: https://github.com/jawshooah/homebrew-nodenv

[fgimian]

If that's the case, then yeah, I'd suggest using your solution for OS X mate 😄

My nodeenv-installer is the equivalent to rbenv-installer and pyenv-installer.

I'm going to leave this open in case @OiNutter or the other maintainers have a different opinion.

closing in favor of the homebrew tap
