local-npm-launch-agent

Script to set up local-npm as a LaunchAgent on OS X, so that you can get up and running with local-npm in no time.

Usage

Run this command (without sudo!):

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nolanlawson/local-npm-launch-agent/master/script.py | python -

What this does

  1. Installs local-npm, pm2, and npmrc globally.
  2. Creates a LaunchAgent to run pm2 and local-npm.
  3. Creates an npmrc called local that points to local-npm.
  4. Starts it up.

When you restart your machine, local-npm will already be up and running.

To see the output logs, you can run:

pm2 logs all

To switch back to regular npm, you can run:

npmrc default

You can also visit http://localhost:5080/_browse in a browser to confirm that local-npm is up and running.

Uninstall

If at any point you want to uninstall all this stuff, just do:

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nolanlawson.localnpm.plist
rm -fr ~/.local-npm ~/.npmrcs/local ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nolanlawson.localnpm.plist
npmrc default
