Is Drux a drush extension or a module or both?

Hi!
I did an install per the github instructions in the README.md.

In a Drupal webroot ran the following and got errors.

$ drush drux-list-dependencies
Command drux-list-dependencies needs the following module(s) enabled to run: drux.                                                                                [error]
The drush command 'drux-list-dependencies' could not be executed.                                                                                                 [error]

So it looks like the module must be installed if the error messages are correct. However on the Drupal.org project page for Drux it states:

While it is fine to use this from github, as a drush extension, the drupal.org project allows to include it in a site / project as a regular module. Do whatever works best for your work flow!

So to my title question: Is Drux a drush extension or a module or both? And if it is an drush extension why does it have a module dependency?

Thanks for your time and help!

OK, confusion on my part. I first used drush to install drux however it installs in in the all/modules/ directory not where any other drush extension I have install normally ends up. Normally the end up in ~/.drush/ I thought that I had deleted the module before the install in ~/.drush/ via github. I think this is why drush was confused.

Consider removing the .module file as the project is not a module but a drush extension. Looking through other drush extension that I have installed none of them have .module file. Only one has a .info file. When I installed the other drush extension with drush en <drush_extension_name> they got installed in the correct place for extension ~/.drush/

Thanks for your work on this project!
