             Summary: [BlackBerry10] Add node as a dependency in check_reqs
                 Key: CB-3380
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3380
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: BlackBerry
            Reporter: Bryan Higgins
            Assignee: Bryan Higgins
             Fix For: 2.8.0


Branching off from this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3161

We discussed hiding node dependency from the user, but this is difficult to achieve cross-platform. At a minimum we would need to provide windows/mac/linux binaries and the NPM module.

The CLI will require node, so post 3.0 this is not going to be as much of an issue.

What we will do for now is:
1) Update check_reqs to determine if node is install. This is already called by create to check for NDK installation.
2) Update the getting started guide to point to node js download page.
3) check_reqs (or create) should also check if the node modules are downloaded, otherwise run npm install
