today's CLI upgrade broke right away

[David Lyons]

I just installed today's CLI upgrade and then pretext broke right away. Here's my new error when I run

% pretext build student

critical: Unable to install required npm packages to build css files.  To use your selected HTML theme, you must have node.js and npm installed.

I tried to fix it with 

% pretext install npm --upgrade

that ran okay, but 

% pretext install node.js 

returns this error

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement node.js (from versions: none)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for node.js

I don't think `pretext install ...` would do anything, maybe you tried something else.

What do you get if you run `node -v` and `npm -v`?

I am guessing you did "pip install..." If so, Node is not a python package. 

Here are install instructions:

I got the node.js install to work. Now pretext build is working fine again.

Thanks!
