Installing ssb-npm + git-ssb + patchfoo

cel 2019-02-25

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

Enable large ssb blobs

Put into ~/.ssb/config:

{
  "blobs": {
    "max": 10000000
  }
}

Restart ssb-server or Patchwork.
