NOTES:

• To test the development of the package/module locally:
  • Add the bin to the package.json:

  {
    "bin": {
      "now-config": "src/index.js"
    }
  }

  • Specifiy the specific interpreter on the top of the main file (inde.js)

    #! /usr/bin/env node

  • $ npm link -> it will install globally for the current directory;
  • $ interactive-cli-tool -> it will run the module in the current directory;
  • To remove the npm link, since $ npm unlink is not working, use: $ npm uninstall -g interactive-clit-tool.
