I'm writing some javascript (for the web) for the first time in a long time and I am realizing that I would be well served by using a bit of tooling like eslint and standardjs.

I am reluctantly willing to apt install nodejs but I am not willing to use npm because of my impression that it is a fractal of yolo curl | bash philosophy which will randomly install and automatically run malware or indistinguishable-from-malware garbage I don't want.

So, my question is: how can I install things like standardjs without using npm?

Please do not tell me that I should just use npm.

Depends on what you want it for. You can use standard in vscode or vim by installing the editor specific modules.

Or, for something bigger, try this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5786433/how-to-install-a-node-js-module-without-using-npm#5786745
