# now The fastest way to deploy a Node.JS service. ## How it works In any directory with a `package.json`, run: ```bash $ now > https://some-code-nd23n2.now.sh ``` every time you run it, you get a new URL (unless nothing's changed). ### Conventions - Only files that would be included in `npm publish` are synchronized. - `package.json` `files`, `.npmignore`, `.gitignore` supported - `package.json` must contain a `start` task inside `scripts`. If a `now` script is defined, that's used instead. - Your HTTP server is expected to run in port `3000`. ## Installing ```bash $ npm install -g now > Enter your email: rauchg@gmail.com. > We sent an email. Click to log in. ``` ## Features - No reliance on Git. - File de-duping. - Respects NPM conventions. ## Options ``` -d Debug mode. Lists all files to be uploaded. -f Force. Creates a new URL even if nothing has changed. ```
