We are now installing node dependencies when we deploy SUMO, so we will need npm to be available.

Any chance of getting this in there soon? It's blocking a lot of things from landing. Thanks!

So if npm is on the box, it's good enough?

As far as I know. We might run into something else, but I expect a working npm to be enough.

Hey Shyam! Think we might be able to get this today?

I'll poke at this now, from IRC this is only needed on the admin node.

sysadmins r102418 has the puppet commit to install npm.

supportadm.private.phx1 now has npm installed :

[[e-mail]1 ~]# which npm
/usr/bin/npm

[[e-mail]1 ~]# npm --version
1.3.6

We deployed our staging environment using a new branch that uses npm. It worked, and we were able to install our node-based dependencies via npm-lockdown.

This gives us the ability to install and use node tools, and gievs us the same cryptographic assurance when doing so for those as peep gave us for python dependencies.

Thanks!
