The frontend behavior should be consistent with Cloud Polyglot.

I'm guessing this is the right repository for this.

When adding a new node server from the node server store the steps to get it actually installed are different when using local polyglot and cloud polyglot.

When using the cloud polyglot, selecting "install" from the store switches to a new screen where you select the slot you want the install to go. Once complete the node server is ready to be configured and run.

When using local polyglot selecting "install" from the store actually only does a download. It then pops up a message (that may or may not be visible) that only remains for a few seconds telling you to select "add node server" from the menu. You then need to manually select "add node server" from the menu to get to a screen where you can select a node server and a slot and finally actually install the node server.

I understand that the main difference between the two is that locally, the repository has to be downloaded to the local machine, but the experience is much more intuitive for cloud based polyglot and should be adopted for local also. I can't think of a good use case where the non-developer would care to download a node server but not actually install it.
