Should support -v argument to check version

[meetwudi]

I am happy to see tldr now supports multi platforms. But when I run tldr zip, not found error was given. I used npm update to update tldr, but it is still not working. Maybe the new version is not published yet? But I am not able to check the version.

Very good point thanks.

Version 0.0.5 should bring multi-platform support, but someone reported an issue downloading it from npm. I'll investigate to see why that is.

Can you see what version you current have in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/tldr ?

0.0.3 @rprieto

That's definitely not the latest. What happens when you npm install -g tldr again?

[meetwudi]

Well, it got updated if I run npm install -g tldr. :)

[rprieto]

That's great. I'm not sure npm update updates global dependencies. Let's keep this open until we add a -v flag though.

I think you can use npm update -g

[meetwudi]

@svogt It did not work :(

@rprieto I suggest commander.js which simplifies the workflow of processing process.argv and generate help messages when user runs tldr -h. It is pretty.

[rprieto]

@tjwudi thanks, commander is definitely nice to use. Someone already pulled in optimist to do the first arg parsing, so I might stick with that to get a quick patch for -v in.

However substack announced he was "retiring" optimist, so in the future commander, yargs or nomnom could be a good long term solution.

Just published version 0.0.6, with support for tldr -V or tldr --version.
I ended up switching to commander anyway :)
