Cli to download assets and libraries on demand for your project. Inspired by electron-download but more universal.

Add to your project via npm install --save
The simplest configuration is if you only have one item to download, which follows the electron conventions. Like electron itself. For that just add to your package.json's script-section:
"postinstall": "deps_downloader --filename electron --version 1.6.1 --filePattern
\"electron$\" "
To allow for more complex configurations, you can also add a top-level section download_deps in the package.json and run deps_downloader --package package.json in your postinstall-section. Example:
"scripts" : {
"postinstall": "deps_downloader --package package.json"
},
"download_deps": {
"electron" : {
"version": "1.6.1"
"filePattern": "electron$"
},
"ENV" : {
"test" : {
"version": "1.5.0",
"override": false
}
"win32" : {
"electron" : {
"filePattern": "electron.exe$"
"disabled": true
}
},
"mobile": {
"electron": {
"disabled": true
}
}
}
}
This example does the same as before but now overwrites the filePattern to electron.exe on windows systems and uses the version 1.5.1 in case it is run in NODE_ENV='test'. You can add any number of entries in download_deps each containing a configuration set except for ENV which contains the overwrites.
ENV may contain any NODE_ENV environment (default is dev). Each environment or platform may contain extra entries. Any Platform may also contain a ENV entry with other node-env environment overwrites. See [examples/complex.json] for a complex version.
A disabled property may be added for a particular environment variable condition in order to prevent a default file from being downloaded.
If intending to download more than one version of a file, use the override property to prevent the the default configuration from being overwritten.
