A gx package manager environment tool for node.
Please note that this project is under development, some features proposed may not be implemented and any information provided is subject to change. Currently, there is not even any source code for this specific gx environment tool, we must plan!.
Users should have IPFS of at least version 0.4.0. gx can use a
public gateway to download node packages as gx dependencies, but if you wish to publish a
package to the network, a locally running IPFS daemon
is an absolute requirement.
go get -u github.com/ipmjs/gx-node
This will download the gx-node source into $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipmjs/gx and build and install a binary to $GOPATH/bin. To modify gx-node, just change the source in $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipmjs/gx and run go build.

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
--help, -h Shows a list of commands or help for one command.
--version, -v Shows version information.
In the root directory of your node package, just run:
gx init --lang=node
gx will create a new package.json for you with some default values.
From there, all you have to do is run gx publish and gx will return a hash address
for your new package.
You will need a running IPFS daemon for this to work.
Importing an existing node package from gx is easy, just grab its hash address from somewhere, and run:
gx import <package-hash>
