Show HN: Nami – A decentralized binary package manager

Nami

A decentralized binary package manager

Why

There are already many package managers, like apt-get, brew, but this is all centralized. Every time the author updates the software, they need to write complex configuration files and PRs and wait for merge.

Nami is a decentralized binary package manager, she allows software authors to publish their software anywhere, without having to request a merge from a software center for each update.

$ curl -L git.io/getnami | bash && exec -l $SHELL
