==============================

SYNOPSIS

This is just enough info to get you up and running.

Much more info available via omegapm help once it's installed.

IMPORTANT

You need node v0.8 or higher to run this program.

Installing

Install Ωpm with NPM

npm install omegapm -g

Also install Keybase (you don't need to be a Keybase member)

npm install keybase-installer -g
keybase-installer
keybase config

Getting modules

As of 0.0.5, Ωpm still installs from npmjs.org and public git repos, just without running scripts during the publish or install process.

On install, Ωpm attempts to run 'keybase dir verify' on the package.

omegapm install omega-sqrt
Ωpm install omega-sqrt

Publishing modules

Your module must be all-JavaScript and require no additional scripts in the install process.

If you are publishing a module, you need to have a GPG key. You can create one on the command line with gpg --gen-key

Run keybase dir sign and commit SIGNED.md along with your other files in the repo. If you are not committing parts of your module, put them in .gitignore and they will also be ignored by keybase's directory-signing tool.

Go to omegapm.org/packages and paste in the link to a public git repo.
