Quickstart

This tool is meant to be used as part of Pown.js, but it can be invoked separately as an independent tool.

Install Pown first as usual:

$ npm install -g pown@latest

Install request:

$ pown modules install @pown/request

Invoke directly from Pown:

$ pown request

Standalone Use

Install this module locally from the root of your project:

$ npm install @pown/request --save

Once done, invoke pown cli:

$ POWN_ROOT=. ./node_modules/.bin/pown-cli request

You can also use the global pown to invoke the tool locally:

$ POWN_ROOT=. pown request
