  name: 'multiInput',
  message: 'Which Keywords do you want to pass'
}]).then(function (answers) {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(answers, null, ' '))
  // outputs array of answers like this if you input
  // wow ↓
  // much ↓
  // multi ↓
  // such ↓
  // ↵
  // {
  //  "multiInput": [
  //    "such",
  //    "multi",
  //    "much",
  //    "wow"
  //  ]
