Specify install path for Ender

Question

When using Ender I would like to specify a directory where packages should be installed.

The only way to make this work seems to be to cd directory; ender build package, but I might be wrong?

Idealy I would have a package.json file, where I can specify a path where dependencies should be placed.

Right now you can append --output path/to/ender to specify the path. For other operations such as add/remove/list it is --use. For example:

ender build qwery bean bonzo --output public/scripts/ender

That would create the ender.js and ender.min.js files under public/scripts.

There is discussion on making this better, e.g., as you mentioned regarding putting the path in package.json. You can read about that on the github issue.

In the mean time, if you use gruntjs, there is a plugin that can handle this as well (disclaimer: I wrote the plugin).
