Hi

I'm working on a node.js based web front end for talisman. It's easy to
install on linux / freebsd etc, not so easy on windows.

Windows needs (in addition to node.js) python 3.11 (3.12 is too new)
visual studio with the not most recent windows sdk. It needs these to
build a module I am using.. (iconv)

So I was wondering, is it possible and not too barbaric to zip up an
installed folder for windows users so they don't have to build the node
modules?

I'm thinking surely some do it like that - i don't have to run npm
install for visual studio code..?
