Using npm start amber

1. Nobody probably though of it.
2. There are more verbs ahead in amber than just 'start'.

So, it will probably stay as planned, to install executable for it (as grunt-cli or express do; a lot of npm project does so in fact).

Again: why compicate it with "npm start"? You can start amber from anywhere (if you installed it with -g) by just "amber" (you should use proper command, of course, 'amber repl' or 'amber serve').

Unfortunately, I know so little about node/npm, I don't really know if I am asking the right question. However, I did take the start up string from the server file, and stick it in the package.json file - under a "start": key, and I can now fire up amber from any directory just by typing

npm start amber

which is quite useful :-)

I didn't try to include the directory variable, so it appears to default to the amber directory - but I haven't experimented with that yet.

Anyway, the point is that if this doesn't cause problems, it might be worth including in a future package.json file, just to help people get started.
