It doesn't try to install a package manager, except for Node Package Manager, Performant Node Package Manager, and the Bun package manager. Except for one of those three package managers, it doesn't install any package managers.

If you have any of those three installed, then no, it does not install any package managers.

Is there some missing and frequently used 4th option, here? Or some other route that you'd expect? Presumably it needs to get packages via some method.
