TypeScript declaration

Guidelines

• Please search other issues to make sure this feature has not already been requested.

Which problem is this feature request solving?

Thank you for making this package. I would like to request TypeScript types.

I currently use the following DTS file:

declare module 'get-node' {
	export default function getNode(version: string): Promise<{
		path: string;
		version: string;
	}>;
}

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a manually composed .d.ts file.

EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted

The error is happening no matter the chosen node version.

❯ nve 12 foo.js
EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted, rename '/tmp/get-node-12.8.0265305VEGYnMd8ahw' -> '/home/charlike/.cache/nve/12.8.0/node'
❯ nve 10 foo.js
EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted, rename '/tmp/get-node-10.16.226957Vjk86vu96oy0' -> '/home/charlike/.cache/nve/10.16.2/node'

I only have one SSD on the machine which is ArchLinux with Linux kernel 4.19.

I usually use nvm, is it counts as "global nodejs install"? I don't think so. That's why I also installed globally nodejs through AUR (which seems to be v11.15).

Btw, are we able to provide --require hook? That would be insanely cool!

edit: Ha, interesting auto-labeler. What you are using on that repo? Doesn't seem like a bot, because it uses the author? Or is it already builtin within GitHub when using issue/pr templates?

Fetch binaries from actions/node-versions

Guidelines

• Please search other issues to make sure this feature has not already been requested.

Which problem is this feature request solving?

I run get-node on GitHub CI a lot, and sometimes the official Node.js server is slow or errors.

Describe the solution you'd like

The option to fetch from https://github.com/actions/node-versions

I noticed https://github.com/actions/setup-node downloads the Node.js binaries from https://github.com/actions/node-versions release artifacts, probably because the server is closer and faster:

Allow choosing architechture (32bit vs 64bit)

Which problem is this feature request solving?

I have a 64-bit machine but due to some unfortunate legacy issues I need to use an old 32-bit version of node for a specific task. For the rest of my tasks I like to use newer versions such as 12 and the 64-bit version.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to run something like:

$ nve --32bit 8 node -p 'process.arch'
ia32

Currently I can only get x64.

It is also important for me to be able to call nve --32bit 8 npm run something and have it use the underlying 32-bit node correctly.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No alternatives really came to my mind... For now I use a different computer with the 32-bit installation of node... This other computer is also a 64-bit computer, but I've installed the 32-bit version of node on it.

Can you submit a pull request?

No

Thank you very much for this great package :)

Is there any way to download NPM?

When download and caching Node on output path, only the Node executable it's available in something like: 16.17.0/x64/bin/node

Not include the NPM, is this intentional? I'm trying to download and install the Node... and execute NPM scripts.

The NPM usually be available on the "same" path than Node, only being necessary to back one step ../npm
