Arg, it turns out this is a difference in npm behavior between mac and linux. On mac it will install all 3, on linux it will overwrite the previous node_modules each time. 😡

On linux you’ll have to use --save instead of --no-save:

rm -Rf package.json package-lock.json node_modules
npm install --save --no-audit --no-fund --loglevel=error git+https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile.git
npm install --save --no-audit --no-fund --loglevel=error git+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/readability-extractor.git
npm install --save --no-audit --no-fund --loglevel=error @postlight/mercury-parser
