jshint 2.9.6 node_modules folder uses 220MB disk space

[xhronos]

An empty node project with jshint 2.9.5 uses about 6.8 MB disk space.
The node_modules folder using 2.9.6 (or ^2.9.5) consumes roughly 220 MB.

Is this as expected?

(node.js version seems to have no effect)

Thanks for the report! A fix is on the way: #3319

You can expect a new release within a couple days.

Problem

It's downloading PhantomJS which is HUGE (~50mb download).

Workarounds

npm install --no-optional -g jshint

Or

npm install -g jshint@2.9.5

Any updates on this @jugglinmike?

@jugglinmike any blockers to quickly release 2.9.7?

[oskbor]

Please consider releasing a 2.9.7 version 🙏

Waiting :)

[jugglinmike]

We've released the fix as JSHint 2.9.7. My apologies for the delay.
