Ensure that a command exists. Throw an error with message
otherwise.
This function supports promises.
Example:
checkcommand = require('checkcommand')
message = '''
Wget is missing from your system. Install it from brew:
$ brew install wget
'''
checkcommand.ensure('wget', message).then ->
console.log('It seems that wget is installed!')
.catch (error) ->
console.error(error)
checkcommand = require('checkcommand')
message = '''
Wget is missing from your system. Install it from brew:
$ brew install wget
'''
checkcommand.ensure 'wget', message, (error) ->
if error?
console.error(error.message)
else
console.log('It seems that wget is installed!')
Ensure multiple commands. A utility function to prevent calling checkcommand.ensure()
multiple times.

checkcommand = require('checkcommand')
checkcommand.ensureMultiple
'wget': 'Missing wget'
'curl': 'Missing curl'
.then ->
console.log('It seems that wget and curl are installed!')
.catch (error) ->
console.error(error)
checkcommand = require('checkcommand')
checkcommand.ensureMultiple
'wget': 'Missing wget'
'curl': 'Missing curl'
, (error) ->
if error?
console.error(error.message)
else
console.log('It seems that wget and curl are installed!')
