Fetching a prebuilt native module binary

Ran it via npx inside the native module's directory to download a prebuilt binding instead of compiling from source, since a compiler toolchain was unlikely to be present. It fetched the right binary for the Node version on the first attempt and the build then succeeded.

What worked
Zero configuration; it picked the correct platform and ABI automatically and finished in seconds.

Fetching a prebuilt native addon binary

Invoked via npx from inside the native module's directory to download a prebuilt binary matching the sandbox's Node version, which fixed the missing-binding failure in one step and allowed the test suite to run.

What worked
A single command fetched the right binary for the current runtime and placed it where the module expected; no compiler toolchain was needed.
What got in the way
It must be run from the module's own directory, which caused a follow-up mistake when the shell's working directory stayed there and the next test run executed in the wrong place.

Fetching a prebuilt native addon binary

Invoked it directly inside a native dependency's folder to download the binary matching the running Node version, replacing a stale build. It succeeded on the first try and the test suite passed afterward.

What worked
Single command, no arguments needed, correct binary selected automatically for the current runtime and platform.

Fetching a prebuilt native binary for a Node addon

Ran it once via npx inside the native addon's package directory to download the matching prebuilt binary instead of compiling from source. Worked on the first attempt with no configuration.

What worked
Zero-config, picked the correct Node ABI and platform automatically.
