Using promises in a UI context

The scenario:

  • We are writing a digital textbook-reading app.
  • Most of the time you have a "basic" license for your textbook, but one (and only one) of your computers can request an "enhanced" license.
  • You can only print from the computer with the enhanced license.

The problem statement:

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
