## Contributing
> Note: This tool is built with [ink](https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink) for a React-based CLI
Clone this repo, then install dependencies:
```sh
npm install
```
Install a global link to it (so `apm` commands refer to the development version):
```sh
npm install -g
```
Build and watch for changes:
```sh
npm run watch
```
## Future ideas
- Add Windows support.
- Add support for an `apm.yml` file in an Ableton Set, so you can run `apm install` there and get all the dependencies (so collaborators can ensure they have the right dependencies).
- Create a Max for Live .amxd device that allows collaborators to install without the CLI.
- A fun long-term idea would be to allow installing Max for Live devices from maxforlive.com. See also: https://github.com/hems/lpm.
