     5  ## Install
     6  
     7  To install it, move the binary somewhere in your `$PATH`:
     8  
     9  ```sh
    10  mv ipfs /usr/local/bin/ipfs
    11  ```
    12  
    13  Or run `install.sh` which does this for you.
    14  
    15  ## Usage
    16  
    17  First, you must initialize your local ipfs node:
    18  
    19  ```sh
    20  ipfs init
    21  ```
    22  
    23  This will give you directions to get started with ipfs.
    24  You can always get help with:
    25  
    26  ```sh
    27  ipfs --help
    28  ```
