This tools is a wrapper around the Particle CLI that manages the version of Node.js used and auto-updates the Javascript modules.
If you already have the CLI installed, uninstall it with npm uninstall -g particle-cli
The Particle CLI Wrapper is a delicacy consisting of a light Go shell filled with a sweet creamy Node.js core.
The Go shell manages its own Node.js installation. It is able to update itself, Node and Node modules. It forwards commands to the main Node.js CLI module. Since it is compiled natively for each platform it is easy to install.
The Node.js core is today's production Particle CLI. It performs all interactions with the Particle cloud.
The version of Node.js to be installed to run the CLI is selected in set-node-version. When this script is run, the installation files for Node.js and npm for Mac OSX, Windows and Linux are downloaded from
The CLI wrapper is compiled for Mac OSX, Windows and Linux with rake build and uploaded to rake release
A manifest file is also uploaded at https://binaries.particle.io/cli/master/manifest.json with the latest version of the CLI wrapper for each platform and the Node.js version that should be installed.
When the CLI wrapper is run, it will download the manifest file. It will check if there's a new version of itself and download it. If the managed version of Node.js is missing or there is a new one, it will download and install Node.js. If the main Node.js module particle-cli is missing or there's a new version on npm, it will download and install it.
The managed version of Node.js, the modules and the CLI wrapper executable are stored in ~/.particle or C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\particle
See the installer directory for the source code of the Mac OSX, Windows and Linux installers that downloads the latest CLI wrapper and runs it once to make Node.js install.
