as if it was so simple. don't forget about pnpm.

it's the same for uv/pip/poetry except uv is so much better than the alternatives there isn't any contest. pip is the safe default (which doesn't even work out of the box on debian derivatives, which is half the issue) and uv is... just default.

As a Debian user that wanted to use a cli tool only available from npm it was horrible trying to find some sane instructions that didn't assume intimate knowledge of node package structures.

I did eventually figure out I could just do `corepack pnpm setup` then install packages globally with pnpm.
