The data files are quite large and it would be nice to not have them download with npm (or maybe even in the git repo). A user would generally only download them once and try to reuse those versions.

Maybe consider having a flag for npm (I think it can do this) to download the files but otherwise let the user specify the data files.

One use case is continuous deployment setups where a fresh clone and thus fresh npm install is done for each instance.
