changed the title
The `.npmrc` can have: ``` CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY___linux = https://this.is/the/linux/binary.zip CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY___win32 = https://this.is/the/win32/binary.zip ``` Where the suffix is taken from platform [names in Nodejs](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_platform). So that on Windows the effective value of `CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY` would be `https://this.is/the/win32/binary.zip`.

@tomasbjerre we have discussed this pull requests and have decided against it. It seems reading environment variables based on the OS is something external to the tool. For example, you could use something like https://github.com/bahmutov/as-a and its modification to run Cypress with the desired set of environment variables depending on the platform. |
