Caching

Downloaded archives are placed in OS-specific cache directory which can be customized by setting NPM_GO_IPFS_CACHE in env.

Development

Warning: the file bin/ipfs is a placeholder, when downloading stuff, it gets replaced. so if you run node install.js it will then be dirty in the git repo. Do not commit this file, as then you would be commiting a big binary and publishing it to npm. A pre-commit hook exists and should protect against this, but better safe than sorry.
