# ipfs-add-from-url

A command line executable to add a file to [IPFS](http://ipfs.io) from a URL instead of a file path

## Dependency

Make sure IPFS is [installed](https://ipfs.io/docs/install/) and the daemon running

```sh

ipfs daemon

```

## Install

**Globally**

```sh

npm install -g ipfs-add-from-url

# Use anywhere

ipfs-add-from-url https://inventaire.io/public/icon/120.png

```

**In a project**

```sh

npm install ipfs-add-from-url --save

# Use directly from npm scripts

ipfs-add-from-url https://inventaire.io/public/icon/120.png

# Or using the relative path from the command line

./node_modules/.bin/ipfs-add-from-url https://inventaire.io/public/icon/120.png

```

## Alternative

As [suggested by ftnd33](https://www.reddit.com/r/ipfs/comments/5quy34/ipfsaddfromurl_a_command_line_executable_to_add_a/dd2xo4s/), you can do pretty much the same with

```sh

wget -q -O - http://url.tld | ipfs add -q

```
