How to use

$ pub global activate dpm

To use packages that integrate with dpm, you should run dpm get instead of pub get. Then, all installed packages will have their get dpm run.

Also replace pub upgrade with dpm upgrade. This will run get dpm as well.

You can run dpm link to link executables into .dpm_bin.

Running your own scripts

It is very likely that you want to run your own scripts during development, or upon package installation. To do so, edit your pubspec.yaml as follows:

name: foo
# ...
scripts:
  build: gcc -o foo src/foo.cc
  post_get:
    - dart_gyp configure
    - dart_gyp build
  post_upgrade: echo ":)"

Installed dev dependencies with executables will automatically be filled in to the PATH during script execution.

Then, in your project root, you can run:

$ dpm build

$ dpm add "my-package@>=2.0.0 <3.0.0"

# Install a Git dependency
$ dpm add my-package@git://path/to/repo.git

# Specify a commit or ref
$ dpm add my-package@git://path/to/repo.git#bleeding-edge

# Install a local package
$ dpm add my-package@path:/Users/john/Source/Dart/pkg

# Install multiple packages
$ dpm add my-package my-other-package yet-another-package

# Install to dev_dependencies
$ dpm add --dev http test my-package@git://repo#dev

# Preview `pubspec.yaml`, without actually installing dependencies,
# or modifying the file.
$ dpm add --dry-run my-experimental-package
