> Better "npm install" using global cache and symlinking.

Lavish downloads a flat package structure then uses symlinking for all dependencies. After you download a package once or twice, it will symlink instantly from there on out. This allows you to download less files and save time installing packages.

![Usage][usage-gif]

Note: In early stages, may or may not be usable.

Installation

``sh
npm install -g lavish
`

Usage

Using the CLI directly:
`sh
lavish <...packages>
`

Using the CLI shim on npm:
`sh
alias npm=lavish-shim
`
`sh
npm install <...packages>
`

Should be 100% compatible with npm install`. Open an issue if you find incompatibility.
