I installed it as a required dependency for something else I was installing on a server, which was fine.
Then, I decided to install Node and figured I would use Docker, since it's all the rage.
I ended up with Node not being available from the command line, but Docker showed an installed version. "Okay", I thought, "there's probably some configuration to do, but for now I'll remove the image from Docker."
That is when Docker informed me that the image was not installed. I verified that it showed an installed version, then decided to wipe the drive clean, mostly to clear the aura of bad design.
