It looks like node is not installed in the new glastonbury image. It was available in fishnchips. Is this an oversight, or is it gone permanently? I know we can install it using this method: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/Node/, but I'd like to run npm commands from my web application, which unfortunately doesn't seem to work.

No npm/node in the latest system image
Yes, we expect node users to follow that help page.
How is it not working from your web app? How do you call it?

I call it like this:
print(subprocess.run(['npm', '--version'], capture_output=True).stdout)
I get an error:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'npm'
Just as a sanity check, when I change 'npm' to 'python', it works correctly.
Normally I need to run source ~/nvm/nvm.sh before I can use npm in the console, but in the app it doesn't work either.
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'source'
I've also tried adding the shell=True parameter, but the errors are similar.
