Yggdrasil

The Norse tree of life, connecting the nine worlds

or a global, npm-based, no-root package manager.

Installation

Install it using npm i -g yggdrasil-pm. Then, run ygg init or yggdrasil init to create the ~/node-executables folder and add it to your PATH and source your ~/.profile. I would recommend that, if you really want to be safe, run after that:

$ ygg install yggdrasil-pm
$ sudo npm uninstall -g yggdrasil-pm

This is so that it is installed under your home directory with no root access.

Usage

ygg [command]

Commands:
  ygg init           Initialize ~/node-executables
  ygg install [pkg]  Install pkg.
  ygg remove [pkg]   Remove pkg.
  ygg update [pkg]   Upgrade pkg, or all packages, using david
  ygg check-update   Check for updates using david

Looking for a JS API?

gi-joe is the package for you. It does, however, need yggdrasil pre-installed (it does not automatically install it) on the machine you are running it on.
