Description

Like brew.sh, any interest in a npm.sh for installing global npm binaries?

I was going to suggest adding trash-cli, but couldn't find a good solution for adding it other than putting a npm install call in bootstrap.sh.

Research direction

Start by reading brew.sh and bootstrap.sh to understand how package-installation scripts are structured and invoked. Determine how an npm.sh script should install global npm binaries, including the mentioned trash-cli example, and consider how it fits into bootstrap.sh. Done means the intended global npm installation flow is documented by the issue's requested behavior and works consistently with the existing scripts.
