NPM 3 support is here! However we’re leaving it in prerelease form for now while we work out bugs. If you’d like to try it out (and are using Node 4/5) add:

- steal 0.13.0-pre.1
- steal-tools 0.13.0-pre.0

Then update your package.json to turn on the flag that enables the npm 3 algorithm:

```auto
{
  "system": {
    "npmAlgorithm": "flat"
  }
}

```

Eventually npm 3 will be the default and this flag will be unnecessary.

Try it out and let us know / file bugs.
