Installing Cypress for every project I work on takes too much space
See original GitHub issue- Operating System: Mac OS X
- Cypress Version: 1.0.3
- Browser Version: N/A
Is this a Feature or Bug?
Bug
Current behavior:
npm install cypress installs the Electron app for every project i do it on. It’s heavy: 320MB. Which means that since I have it installed on 4 projects, almost a gig of disk space is wasted on an electron app duplicated 4 times 😦
Desired behavior:
Make the primary method of installing the cypress app system or user global
How to reproduce:
npm install cypress
Test code:
du -hs node_modules/cypress/

Could you install it globally (which means you are using same version, just like with any globally installed tool) and use it?
A headless version sounds perfect. Should I open a separate issue for that? would you be open to a PR that allows a headless version?
