Problem: The previous approach of having the installer run `npm install`
was hazardous at best and didn't work well offline.
Solution: Package all of the source code with the application and use
the installer to ensure that it works on the target device. The
installer should ensure that we can `require()` the module, and if that
doesn't work then it should choose between two options:
- If the module is optional, `rm -rf` it and don't worry about it.
- If the module is mandatory, try running `npm install` with some flags
to ensure that we stay offline and print the absolute minimal output.
This should never happen, because we should never be packaging Oasis
for architectures and platforms that we don't have prebuilds for, but
it's a fine fallback behavior for experimental hackery.
Problem: Running `./oasis --version` should output the current version,
it shouldn't just start the server by default.
Solution: Pass through command-line arguments with `$@` so that we
respect what the user is asking us to do.
Problem: Most people don't have npm installed and we probably shouldn't
force them to have a full development environment to use Oasis. It would
be nice to have a way to install Oasis without any development tools.
Solution: Add a build script that can create .zip files that work on
Unix systems like macOs and Linux. Users will need to download the zip,
extract it, and double-click the `oasis` script. This script will run
`npm start || npm install && npm start`, which uses binaries that we
ship in the zip file so that they don't need to have `node` or `npm`
installed.
