Latest version of node (0.6.3+) has npm baked-in

[bdcravens]

Line in readme.md describing how to download and install npm no longer needed unless user has node <= 0.6.2, which is not recommended

npm does not come with nodejs on debian. So it probably won't on Ubuntu sooner or later (even if it does now).

Looks like it deosn't even come from the same source package:

http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/nodejs
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/npm

This is node version 0.6.19

Also, even if it is not a dependency, I think it is important to mention your dependance on npm, because you're downloading code from the internet and running it on my computer. That is not something you should do without asking me.

Wut?

1. Fyi, node v0.6.21 is the latest version in the 0.6.x branch
2. The latest stable version of node is 0.8.14
3. We do not download npm for you, if it isn't installed on your machine!
   1. Npm actually is a dependency of epl... and so are about 50 other npm packages
   2. but they all won't be downloaded if npm isn't installed on your machine
   3. You can easily check which packages epl depends on in src/package.json
4. We're not doing anything on your computer. If you are afraid of running other people's code, read it through before or stick to a very simple solution: don't run their code!
5. Check our installation instructions again. Afaik, we're not telling you to install any node.js debian packages...
