Install DPX globally using:

```bash

deno install --allow-run --allow-net -n dpx https://deno.land/x/dpx/cli.ts

```

Then, the package is available to run:

```bash

dpx   

```

Under the hood, the CLI finds the file to run (`cli.ts` or `mod.ts`) from the Deno registry and runs it.

## 💡 Examples

If you want to run the package `online` (which tells you whether you are online), you can run:

```bash

dpx online --allow-net # You are online

```

Similarly, if you want to check whether a website is up, you can use the `up` package:

```bash

dpx up --allow-net https://google.com  # https://google.com is up

```

Required permissions:

1. `--allow-net`

2. `--allow-run`

## ⭐ API

You can use this package by importing it:

```ts

import { dpx } from "https://deno.land/x/dpx/mod.ts";

const result = dpx("packageName", ["--flags"], ["args"]);

```

Alternatively, you can use it directly from the CLI by using deno run:

```bash

deno run --allow-read --allow-run https://deno.land/x/dpx/cli.ts   

```

## 👩‍💻 Development

Run tests:

```bash

deno test --allow-read

```
