What things should all installers do universally?

Create the appropriate directories
Find existing Node installs and gracefully supersede them with shims
Find existing global Node packages and gracefully supersede them with shims

What are the differences across OSes?

On Windows, Notion needs to be installed as a shared install instead of a per-user install because of the backwards precedence of Windows environment variables (system variables supersede user variables).
In Unix, Notion needs to be installed as a user install because many users don't have administrative privileges.
