If you ever inadvertently run `npm install` without `--production`, you can easily eliminate any unwanted
"devDependencies" with:
npm prune --production
Finally, when installing the project on an AWS server, you have complete control of how Node is launched, but you
don't have direct control of NPM; the best you can do is set the following AWS "Environment Property":

It's assumed that the OS X Developer Tools (which include Git) have already been installed, as well as
Node and NPM. Node (which now includes NPM) can be downloaded from [nodejs.org](http://nodejs.org/download/).

Another useful gort command is "gort=nodebug", which is like "debug" but also sets the client-side **DEBUG** variable
to *false*, disabling all debug-only runtime checks in the client and allowing the simulation to run much faster:

Regrettably, the gort command "Klaatu barada nikto" is not yet recognized. Fortunately, there are no (known) situations
where PCjs could run amok and destroy the planet.
