You can copy the node.exe file into the TiddlyServer (downloaded from the releases page) or TiddlyWiki directory (downloaded from the main code page) and then everything will basically work the same, except for any npm commands.

Just thought I'd point out that this is for static sites, not TiddlyServer. And you've made it really simple! A glance-over looks like I've finally hit gold when it comes to static sites. TiddlyServer is even simpler -- after installing Node, you just extract a zip file and edit settings.json to your liking. This is OPINION. Its obvious we have MANY methods to save TW.

So I created this page: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/TiddlyWiki_Manual/Saving_Methods and added Mark's script to it.
