amino.js

var nconf = require('nconf'),
    fs = require('fs');

// Favor command-line arguments and environment variables.
nconf.env().argv();

// Local defaults
nconf.file({file: './etc/amino.json'});
// Global conf (if exists)
nconf.file({file: '/etc/amino.json'});
// Check for an override conf path.
if (path = nconf.get('conf')) {
  nconf.file({file: path});
