spored is the Spore Daemon, a small proxy server that runs locally on your machine in tandem with the spore-cli to boost performance and allow for offline capability.
The preferred method of installation is using the official install script.
However, you can install spored on it's own with the following:
$ npm install -g spored
or:
$ npm install -g git://git@github.com:spore-sh/spored.git
spored should ideally be run as a daemonized server that is started automatically. This module contains
a postinstall script to set that up on your system. Currently only OS X is supported (via launchd).
If you're not using OS X, you'll need to set it up yourself. If you're using Linux, you'll likely use systemd for this,
or upstart if you're using Ubuntu. On Windows, this will probably be service.
If you figure out how to get it set up for your system, please submit a Pull Request to assist others!
To start spored manually, use the following command:
$ spored
Logs will go to stdout, errors will go to stderr. The logging will
be very minimal unless you set the environment varialbe DEBUG to "spored".
