The project is currently in early design phases, and this document describes
the high-level approach of the project.
## Components
There are two main components to this project.
0. `pm` is the name of the client-side cli command. This is the tool used to
fetch, install, verify, create, upload, etc. packages.
0. `pmd` is the name of the server-side component. It hosts packages (over
`http` for now), available package metadata, and cryptographic public key
information to clients.
Securely installing the `pm` command is important. Be sure to verify its
contents before use.
