1. Make sure you have a 2.x npm client installed.

2. Install dependencies with Homebrew:

brew install ansible
brew install couchdb
brew install redis
brew install nginx

3. Install the installer (turtles all the way down):

npm install npme
hit `n` and abort the install.

4. Manually run the installer, overriding user and group:

./node_modules/.bin/npme --user=your-user-name --group=admin

• when prompted, set the front-door host to http://127.0.0.1:8080.

5. Manual steps required post install:

• make sure we've successfully installed nginx and couchdb config (this should have happened during install):
  • nginx.conf should refer to /etc/npme/packages
  • local.ini should have an admin password set.
• restart nginx and couchdb, something like this:
  • launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.couchdb.plist
  • launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.couchdb.plist
  • launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist
  • launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist
• traverse to /etc/npme.
• run npm cache clear;npm install --verbose --always-auth --registry=https://enterprise.npmjs.com.
• run sudo ndm generate to generate launchctl scripts.
• run ndm start to start things up.
• run curl -XGET localhost:8080 you should see a registry!
• tail logs and make sure settings look sane: tail -f /etc/npme/logs/*.

That should get you on your feet, there's more documentation here:

npme uses the ndm tool, which has documentation here:
