+The command is a native binary, and npm installs the build for your machine
+beside this package: macOS and Linux on Arm and x86-64, and Windows on x86-64.
+An install that skips optional dependencies skips it too, and `helix` then names
+the package it's missing. To start a project rather than add Helix to one, use
