You might be asking yourself \"WHY?\"; I don't have an answer for you.\n\n# Installation\nRun the installer script:\n\n\u003cpre\u003echmod +x installer \u0026\u0026 ./installer\u003c/pre\u003e\n\nYou'll want to open it and change the `$PREFIX` variable in case you don't like things being installed into `/usr/local`.\n\n# Usage\n\nIf you've ever used a package manager (apt, yum, rubygems, etc., etc.), you know how to use kapow.\n\n## Installing a new library:\n\n\u003cpre\u003ekapow install [name]\u003c/pre\u003e\n  \n## Removing a library:\n\n\u003cpre\u003ekapow remove [name]\u003c/pre\u003e\n\n## Updating a libary:\n\n\u003cpre\u003eTODO:  ^ this\u003c/pre\u003e\n\n## Searching for libraries:\n\n\u003cpre\u003ekapow search [name or partial name]\u003c/pre\u003e\n    \n## Including the library in your script\n\n\u003cpre\u003erequire '[name]'\u003c/pre\u003e\n  \n# EXAMPLES!!!??1$TEXAS\n\nSay we have a kapow lib called 'sweet' (This assumes you have run `kapow install sweet`).

No joke.  Try it!\n\n# TODOS\n\n* Write an update function\n* Devise and enforce some kind of metadata in a kapow lib to pull things like creator, homepage, version, etc.\n* Think of an actual use case.\n\n# Disclaimer\n\nGood science, you had better know what you're doing!  You take full responsibility for your actions.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fess%2Fkapow","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fess%2Fkapow","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fess%2Fkapow/lists"}
