Install Build Awesome Globally

WARNING
It is not recommended to install Build Awesome globally (though it does work fine).

It is preferred to use package.json installation instead. package.json installation will avoid versioning issues if you come back to this project later or decide to use Build Awesome on multiple projects that may need different versions.

WARNING
If you’re planning on deploying your site using a service like Netlify (running a build a deployment server), you must use package.json installation and not global installation.
npm install -g @awesome.me/buildawesome

The above adds an buildawesome command that you can use in any directory. When you run Build Awesome globally, it might look like this:

$ buildawesome --version
4.0.0-alpha.10
