# Ivy - node in a hurry

Ivy the idea of a portable environment taken to the extreme. Each ivy instance has it's copy of node and all your libraries. The node version and bundled libraries are controlled via git submodules.

## Setup/Install

It's super easy to install with a single line. If you have `wget` then do:

wget -O- http://github.com/creationix/ivy/raw/master/utils/setup.sh | sh

For `curl` do:

curl -# http://github.com/creationix/ivy/raw/master/utils/setup.sh | sh

And then after either case, you can start up `ivy` right away:

./ivy/bin/node

Try `require('connect')` to make sure the bundled libraries are available.

If you add `/ivy/bin` to your executable path then it's "installed". That's all it takes!

## Module management

Installing new modules, updating existing modules, and changing node versions is all done via the git submodules in `/modules/*` and `/ivy-bin`. Currently there are no utilities to automate this, but there are plans to integrate [NPM][] somehow to play nice with the Ivy environment.

## Platforms

Currently I bundle two platforms of node.

- **node-osx** - This is built on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) in 64-bit mode
- **node-linux** - This is built on latest Ubuntu in 32-bit mode.

I may add more platforms as time goes, but these are the two I use for development and production.
