## Why

While [fpm][] is great, for me, it is a bummer that it depends on `ruby`, `tar`
and other software.

I wanted something that could be used as a binary and/or as a library and that
was really simple.

So I created nFPM: a simpler, 0-dependency, as-little-assumptions-as-possible alternative to fpm.

## Getting started

- [Documentation](https://nfpm.goreleaser.com/)
- [Getting Started](https://nfpm.goreleaser.com/docs/quick-start/)
- [Install](https://nfpm.goreleaser.com/docs/install/)
- [Configuration reference](https://nfpm.goreleaser.com/docs/configuration/)

## Special thanks 🙏

Thanks to the [fpm][] authors for fpm, which inspires nfpm a lot.
