1. Getting Started

You can install Printer via npm or yarn. Printer is compatible with both UNIX and Windows Operating Systems. The Printer CLI tool at minimum requires Node v4. In general, we suggest using Node LTS though. You can download nvm and install Node and NPM LTS versions with that tool.

λ with npm

λ npm install @printerframework/cli --global

λ or with yarn

λ yarn global add @printerframework/cli

You can confirm Printer is properly installed by simply running “printer --help”. This should show the full catalogue of commands available with Printer.
