Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

jolter

Official npm bootstrap installer for Jolter.

The jolter npm package is a lightweight installer wrapper. When installed, it automatically downloads and installs the official prebuilt binary of the Jolter CLI for your operating system and CPU architecture.

Installation

You can install jolter globally using your preferred JavaScript package manager:

npm

npm install -g jolter

pnpm

pnpm add -g jolter

yarn

yarn global add jolter

Bun

bun add -g jolter

How It Works

  1. During installation (postinstall), the installer detects your OS (Windows, macOS, Linux) and architecture (x64, arm64).
  2. It fetches the latest official Jolter release binary asset and SHA-256 checksums.txt from GitHub Releases (jolterjs/jolter).
  3. It verifies the cryptographic SHA-256 checksum of the downloaded file.
  4. It extracts the archive (.zip on Windows, .tar.gz on Unix) and installs the executable into:
    • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Jolter
    • macOS / Linux: ~/.local/bin
  5. Future updates can be performed directly through Jolter itself:
    jolter upgrade

PATH Configuration

If running jolter --version outputs "command not found", make sure your target installation directory is present in your shell's PATH:

  • Windows: Ensure %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Jolter is in your User environment PATH.
  • macOS / Linux: Add ~/.local/bin to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.config/fish/config.fish):
    export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Telemetry & Privacy

  • Zero Telemetry: jolter does not collect tracking data, analytics, or user identifiers.
  • Official Binaries Only: All binaries are fetched directly over HTTPS from official GitHub Releases.
