## Requirements
-- [scuttlebot][] with adjusted max blobs config
-- [ssb-npm-registry][]
+- [ssb-server][]
+- [ssb-npm][]
- [git-ssb][]
-Scuttlebot's max blobs config must be adjusted to allow for the installation
-of patchfoo with `ssb-npm-registry` to complete, because of the size of native
-module dependencies. To do this, run sbot server with these options when you
-are going to do the install:
-`sbot server --blobs.max 30000000`
-Or put this in your `~/.ssb/config` to make the setting persist:
-`{"blobs":{"max":30000000}}`

## Install
+patchfoo can run either as a standalone process or as an ssb-server plugin.
+
+Running as a ssb-server plugin is faster and uses less resources. But it requires you to run ssb-server from the command-line, or use a ssb-server distribution that allows installing ssb-server plugins.
+
+Running as a standalone process can work while you are running a ssb-server distribution such as Patchwork, Patchbay, or Oasis. It also could potentially work with ssb-server implementations other than the Node.js one.
+
+### Install as a standalone process
+
```sh
git clone ssb://%YAg1hicat+2GELjE2QJzDwlAWcx0ML+1sXEdsWwvdt8=.sha256 patchfoo
cd patchfoo
-npm install --registry=http://localhost:8043/
+ssb-npm install
npm start
```
-Alternatively, install as an sbot plugin (advanced):
+### Install as a ssb-server plugin
```sh
cd ~/.ssb/node_modules
git clone ssb://%YAg1hicat+2GELjE2QJzDwlAWcx0ML+1sXEdsWwvdt8=.sha256 patchfoo
cd patchfoo
-npm install --registry=http://localhost:8043/
-sbot plugins.enable patchfoo
-# restart sbot
+ssb-npm install
+node enable-plugin.js
```
## Install extras
To most effectively render things, patchfoo needs the `ssb-backlinks`
-and `ssb-private` scuttlebot plugins:
+and `ssb-private` ssb-server plugins. If you are using a ssb-server distribution like Patchwork, Patchbay or Oasis's ssb-server, these are already included. If you are using ssb-server from the command-line, the plugins have to be installed separately:
```sh
sbot plugins.install ssb-backlinks
-sbot plugins.enable ssb-backlinks
sbot plugins.install ssb-private
-sbot plugins.enable ssb-private
-# restart sbot
```
