# ipfs commandline tool
This is the [ipfs](http://ipfs.io) commandline tool. It contains a full ipfs node.
## Install
To install it, move the binary somewhere in your `$PATH`:
```sh
mv ipfs /usr/local/bin/ipfs
```
Or run `install.sh` which does this for you.
## Usage
First, you must initialize your local ipfs node:
```sh
ipfs init
```
This will give you directions to get started with ipfs.
You can always get help with:
```sh
ipfs --help
```
#!/bin/sh
bin=ipfs
# this script is currently brain dead.
# it merely tries two locations.
# in the future maybe use value of $PATH.
binpath=/usr/local/bin
if [ -d "$binpath" ]; then
mv "$bin" "$binpath/$bin"
echo "installed $binpath/$bin"
exit 0
fi
binpath=/usr/bin
if [ -d "$binpath" ]; then
mv "$bin" "$binpath/$bin"
echo "installed $binpath/$bin"
exit 0
fi
