Installing or Updating

It's pretty easy once you have Go installed:

go get -u github.com/benfb/vin
go install github.com/benfb/vin

Client/Server Model

Vin has the ability to notify you via text message when a blacked-out game becomes available to watch on MLB.tv. To do this, it needs to periodically check with the MLB servers to see whether a game is finished. Most vin commands can be run locally, but to get notified, you have to run a server somewhere with vin server and then send a request to be notified from a computer with vin watch. You'll get a text 90 minutes after the game finishes (when you can watch it).
