to clarify you need to install node to have access to the npm installer. It's
a bit strange that someone has packaged it as a npm and I am unsure if some
parts are missing with this approach, but maybe it's worth a go.
I found a tutorial on installing node so you can understand a bit more about
that. Node is backend js but the npm package manager that comes with it seems
to be used sometimes for not particularly node related projects, kind of like
macports.

the package you want to try is on github here.
https://github.com/JamesMGreene/node-flex-sdk
but that's kind of irrelevant, once npm is setup you just type from terminal
npm --loglevel verbose install node-flex
( since it's quite big it's nice to have verbose on so you can see whats
happening. loglevels are explained by no. 6 here:

).
I know Apache Flex is about flex, but I am worried that the code that is not
currently downloading is flex specific and I just want to setup an as3 AIR
starling robot legs project that does not use Flex itself. It would be nice if
there were packages for as3 users like me.
I think adobe can do better than sourceforge! After all Haxe manages to host
downloads itself, why are Adobe putting stuff on sourceforge?
