Best practices

Do not forget to add local_addons to your .gitignore: echo "./local_addons" >> .gitignore
Configure the package manager locally if you have more than one openFrameworks versions installed on your computer.
Configure the package manager locally if you want to use your own custom packages database for a project.
You can also use the bash-based online version if you do not have the package manager installed on your machine. e.g. cd into/your/project/app and execute the following to install its dependencies: bash -c "$(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasgeissl/ofPackageManager/master/scripts/ofPackageManager.sh)" install
