## Installation

Install the library package with `go get github.com/anacrolix/dht`, or the provided cmds with `go get github.com/anacrolix/dht/cmd/...`.

## Commands

Here I'll describe what some of the provided commands in `./cmd` do.

Note that the [`godo`](https://github.com/anacrolix/godo) command which is invoked in the following examples builds and executes a Go import path, like `go run`. It's easier to use this convention than to spell out the install/invoke cycle for every single example.
