Research direction

Reproduce the failure when Hyper is installed through configuration.nix on NixOS. Start with node-pty/lib/unixTerminal.js and the loading path through node-pty/lib/index.js and session.js; consult readme.md for the native-module build requirements. Done means Hyper opens without the node-pty MODULE_NOT_FOUND error.
