Set up npm

If you haven't already done so, set a prefix for npm and add its bin directory to your $PATH:

echo prefix=$HOME/.local >> ~/.npmrc
echo PATH=\$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin >> ~/.profile
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin

Install ssb-npm

mkdir -p /tmp/ssb-npm-registry-2.1.3 && cd /tmp/ssb-npm-registry-2.1.3 &&
curl -s 'http://localhost:8989/blobs/get/&ptkWRUIPdBGTZ3W2BWPBuyFw4RumSjQu/DPJ3kufk1s=.sha256' | tar xz &&
./package/bootstrap/bin.js --ws-url http://localhost:8989 \
  --branch %i06tAOja1Nvy2IroPTwqn7t4G7M/YUAXmHU6xDJDiSs=.sha256 \
  install -g ssb-npm@2.0.4

Install git-ssb

ssb-npm install -g git-ssb@2.8.0 \
  --branch %xlfr8klBuPNiHSXQ5uq2HkrIWudCz9Zzs9jiBoJBz3s=.sha256
