   The makefile is there to facilitate a uniform install process across all platforms supporting make.

   EDIT: nobody wants to have to cd cli && node cli.js to use an app: the shellscript and makefile solve this.

   use regular shellscripts then
   why use makefiles?

   Why aren't we just using a shellscript to install instead of a makefile?

   There's no point, and using regular shell scripts is a lot simpler?

   Simpler? Not really. Pointless? Maybe, but it works fine.

   I mean, it at least would remove the dependency on make, but idk.
   make is mostly designed for compiling programs, but w/e.
