ied is an alternative package manager for Node.js, designed as a faster replacement for npm. It installs dependencies concurrently using a content-addressable storage model based on SHA-1 checksums, producing a flat node_modules directory with atomic installs and consistent caching.
Use cases
- install node dependencies faster than npm
- alternative package manager for node projects
- flat node_modules without nested dependency trees
- cache npm packages by checksum for consistent installs
- parallel dependency installation for node
- avoid duplicate package installs in node_modules
When to choose
- you want faster, concurrent npm installs with checksum-based caching
- you prefer a flat node_modules layout with guaranteed package uniqueness
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the project has had no releases since early 2017
- you need modern npm/yarn/pnpm features like workspaces or lockfiles
- your project depends on npm-specific behaviors or tooling
