What's wrong with nodejs being installed on your OS?
- nodejs is slow.
- the cli runs in whatever your active (nvm, asdf, etc) is configured in that directory. So for each version of node you work in you need to install a different copy of gemini.
- if you work in an older version of nodejs, then you need to run 2 different versions of node (in different tabs) to use the tool and run your project.
While writing this comment, thinking that there should be some packaging tool that would create a binaries from npx cli tools. I remember such things for python. Binaries were fat, but it is better then keep nodejs installed on my OS
