FAQ

What are you doing to my computer?

We install compartmentalized packages to ~/.tea.

We then suggest you add our one-liner to your shell .rc and a symlink for /usr/local/bin/tea.

We might not have installed tea, if you used sh <(curl tea.xyz) foo and tea wasn’t already installed, then we only fetched any packages, including tea, temporarily.

Packaging up tea packages with your .app, etc.

Our packages are relocatable by default. Just keep the directory structure the same. And ofc. you are licensed to do so (by us! each package has its own license!). Honestly we think you should absolutely bundle and deploy tea’s prefix with your software. We designed it so that it would be easier for you to do this than anything that has come before.

I thought you were decentralized and web3 and shit

[tea is creating new technologies that will change how open source is funded][white-paper]. tea/cli is an essential part of that endeavor and is released prior to our protocol in order to bootstrap our holistic vision.

We don’t subscribe to any particular “web” at tea.xyz, our blockchain component will be an implementation detail that you won’t need to think about (but we think you will want to).
