# friendpm

> Share, publish, and install node packages from your cache over the local

> network.

## Install

With [npm](https://npmjs.org/) installed, run

```

$ npm install --global friendpm

```

## Usage

Use the `friendpm` command just like `npm`, except the `install` and `publish`

subcommands operate on your machine's cache and other friendpm users on the

local network, instead of the NPM central servers.

```

  friendpm i, install [-S] [-D]

    Works like `npm install`. Accepts a package name to install from someone on

    the local network, or your own cache if none are found.

  friendpm publish

    Works like `npm publish`, except your package is only published to your

    local cache. It can be installed immediately after by you or others on the

    network (if you're running `friendpm share`).

  friendpm share

    Run a tiny npm registry that other `friendpm` users can discover and use

    over the local network.

```

## Caveats

At version 5 `npm` changed its internal caching mechanism, making `friendpm` no

longer work with it. However, your left-over npm cache from when you ran 4 or

earlier (if you did) still remains and can be shared!

You can downgrade to `npm@4` or earlier, *or* consider donating a patch that

adds npm5 caching support!
