Why use this package?
This package makes it easy to install a specific version of the Gren compiler using npm. It's a handy way to install the compiler when you already have npm available.
Of course, you don't have to install Gren this way. The Gren website lists alternative setup instructions if you'd rather not use npm.
How it works
The first time you execute gren after installing it with this package, it will download the correct binary for your operating system from github. This binary will be placed in $XDG_CACHE_DIR/gren/$version/bin/gren. All arguments will then be passed on to this cached compiler binary.
If you're running this in a CI setup, caching the $XDG_CACHE_DIR/gren folder will cache both the compiler and the project dependencies, which is recommended.
