# `sympm` [![Travis](https://img.shields.io/travis/ezekg/sympm.svg?style=flat-square)](https://travis-ci.org/ezekg/sympm) [![NPM](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/sympm.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sympm) `sympm` allows you to run `npm install` from inside of a Vagrant virtual machine without hitting symlink issues due to shared folders. It does so by symlinking your local `node_modules/` directory to `~/.sympm/<currentDirBasename>/node_modules/`, allowing `npm` to correctly symlink binaries and other goodies on `install`. ***This tool is not meant to be used outside of a virtual machine.*** ## Installation ```bash npm install -g sympm ``` ## Usage ***The commands below should be run within your virtual machine via `vagrant ssh`.*** ### Install Creates a symlink from `./node_modules` to `~/.sympm/<currentDirBasename>/node_modules` and runs `npm install`. You can then use `npm` normally with the new symlinked `./node_modules` directory. ```bash sympm install ``` ### Uninstall Removes modules installed in `~/.sympm/<currentDirBasename>` by running `rm -rf ~/.sympm/<currentDirBasename>`, and removes the symlinked `./node_modules` directory. ```bash sympm uninstall ``` ### Clean Removes all modules installed in `~/.sympm/*` by running `rm -rf ~/.sympm/*`. ```bash sympm clean ``` To remove the symlink, simply `rm ./node_modules` and you're good to go. To completely uninstall `sympm`, remove the symlink and then run `rm -rf ~/.sympm`. ## License MIT © [Ezekiel Gabrielse](https://github.com/ezekg)
