Package Authors

Add the following package installation instructions to your README:

pub global activate den
den install <your package name>

^ Constraints

den install and den pull will take advantage of ^ constraints e.g. ^1.2.3 if either of:

Your sdk constraint disallows pre-1.8.0 SDKs when ^ was introduced.
You pass the --caret flag, which updates your sdk constraint for you.

Otherwise, they will use range syntax e.g. >=1.2.3 <2.0.0

Programmatic Usage

The underlying functionality is available as a Dart API through the den_api package, which this package is merely a command-line interface for.

Inspiration

den install was inspired by npm install --save and bower install --save den fetch and den pull were inspired by david and david update.
