Do I need node.js to use UglifyJs2?

I'm trying to use the command line tools of UglifyJs to minify my files. On the git page it says to download it using npm: npm install uglify-js -g.

Is that the only way to download it? My website doesn't use node.js so I'm wondering if there's an alternate way.

You can download it directly from it's github repo. However, I do agree with JohnnyHK it's better to install via npm as it will handle any dependancies required by UglifyJS.

When installing a module using npm -g, you're installing a command-line utility that uses node.js for its run-time rather than a module for a node.js based web site.

So it's still easiest to use npm to install it.
