This makes a container as a command line tool from many package management systems.

If you want to use a command (ex: "marked" markdown compiler) without installing nodejs, you type this.

whale npm install marked

You can use it!

marked README.md

Also you can use whale apt-get install and whale yum install too.

It creates a docker container installed the command by using package managers, and adds a script to call the container into /usr/local/bin/.

#!/bin/sh
# This script was created by flying docker 0.1
docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:/src --workdir=/src --entrypoint=marked whale-npm-marked $*
