Have fun. :)

## Installing

First you need Node.js then:

npm install -g lpm

## Usage

lpm midi       [/path/to/a/zip/file]
# download and unzip the file into your Max for live midi folder
lpm instrument [/path/to/a/zip/file]
# download and unzip the file into your Max for live instrument folder
lpm effect     [/path/to/a/zip/file]
# download and unzip the file into your Max for live audio effects folder

### TODO

• Add commands to install AU and VSTs

• Find out a better way to download zip files from web: at the moment when downloading a zip from github it will fail due to the 302 message error.

• Add a simple database to store data, so the user would able to install / uninstall / disable installed plugins

• Fix windows version

  • perhaps just adjust some paths on install.coffee will do the job

Should be simple and would be great if someone could contribute with that.

### Next Steps

Having a centralized repository, or list of packages.

Agree on some configuration file, i.e. yaml or json file to specify package version, author among other basic information
