I do not have root access on this supercomputer so I cannot update them for the entire system.

Here is a temporary solution for Linuxbrew users, but I hope there is a better solution, but maybe you could put this into your FAQ page

Please move it to backlog, thank you!

[MISAKA-DaYu]

I need these feature too, please move it to backlog, thank you.

@xuzhaofangxzf @chazeon @MISAKA-DaYu Use the upvote feature as described here if you want it in the backlog.

I wonder how this feature request would be solved. Maybe a statically compiled node could solve other use cases as well. Or using a node executable from PATH if available instead of the local executable.
