npm module?

Will you publish it to npm?

Oh, sorry, misread languages used with facebook/immutable-js opened in next tab.

Sorry, that was stupid question :)

From our limited investigation, publishing binaries through npm seems a little awkward. We've come up with a few approaches, but decided to punt on it for now since they don't seem to make things easier. The approaches were:

1. Create a package for each OS that needs it's own package. So flow-mac & flow-debian ...
2. Create a single package with an install script that looks at the platform and fetches the correct binary
3. Create a single package with the source that then compiles it

While we might publish to npm eventually, we decided to hold off for now.

Leaving this issue open for now in case other people are wondering the same question.

I haven't looked at how they do it, but I think the phantomjs package downloads binaries.

@gabelevi, you should add a note about the flow-bin package in the readme.

@spicyj, yeah, but in a pretty excessive way. I've created a module for exactly this purpose (kevva/bin-wrapper).
