Install

installation for gdvm is relativelty simple. Assuming you have node installed, just need to install the package with npm install -g gdvm. After that, you need to create a .gdvm.json file in your home directory. This is ~ on linux and mac (I think?) based systems, and C://Users/<your-username>/ on windows systems. Here's a template for what this file should look like:

{
  "os": "linux64",
  "godotPath": "/home/firesquid/.gdvm/current",
  "versionsPath": "/home/firesquid/.gdvm/versions",
  "dataPath": "/home/firesquid/.gdvm/data.json"
}

os - the operating system to download godot for. It can either be linux64, linux32, win32, win64, or mac
dataPath - A json file that gdvm uses to store data
versionsDir - the directory where zip files of installed versions will be stored
godotPath - the directory where the currently in-use version of godot is under godot.<whatever-your-system-exe-is>. This should be added to your system's path. (wait, what is that?)

Once this file is created and filled out, make sure that the use-dir is added to your system path. This will allow you to call godot from the command line by calling godot.
