While it's true that a lot of Node libraries assume *nix and make system calls, a surprising number of libraries are written in pure Node. Just clone the library from GitHub and put it in the node_modules directory and you're good to go for a number of popular libraries.

I've played around with Node in Windows and Node without NPM is seriously gimped.

Well, ryppi.py is a python script which works like npm. Once you are done with it you can install any of the libraries by using the following command.

             python ryppi.py install socket.io express
