Problem Statement

Feature request to maintain npm install option for users running on non-linux/darwin platforms.

In issue #20020 it was requested to open a separate issue for illumos / solaris so it can be tracked separately, so I am opening a separate issue for OpenBSD in order to flag the same request for that platform.

To confirm, when attempting to run the native installer on OpenBSD, it exits saying "Windows is not supported", which is just the default error for non-darwin/linux. Installing from npm works very well on OpenBSD, so it would be nice to continue to be able to do that in the future.

Proposed Solution

Maintain install from npm as an option.

Alternative Solutions

Currently installing from npm and it works well.
