clipboard-cli's Issues

Having issues running `clipboard help`

I followed the install instructions, and I'm running node v8.11.1

The CLI seems to add a newline to the contents when copying

Self-Contained Executables

Hey folks! I'm new to this repository, but I'm a huge fan of this tool and would love to help improve it where I can.

Personally, I think the next step for this tool is to have self-contained executables that could be installed via Chocolatey, Brew, etc. I forked the repo and did some testing on my end and I've not had any issues with the built executables.

I'd be more than happy to continue this work and set up distribution via Chocolatey, Brew, etc., I just don't wanna do this if there's no interest so I figured I'd ask before continuing forward :)

Not working in tmux

When running inside tmux it will throw error. Seems like it is the underlying clipboardy that does not handle tmux environment well.
