How it works

Easy Install determines the correct package manager based on the lock file present in the project directory.

in can be run from any subdirectory of a project, and it will find the closest lock file in any parent directory relative to where the command is run.

Supported package managers

| Package Manager | Lock File | | --------------- | ------------------- | | npm | package-lock.json | | yarn | yarn.lock | | pnpm | pnpm-lock.yaml | | bun | bun.lockb |

Development

You must have Bun installed globally.

To install dependencies:

bun install

To run:

bun in

To build a binary:

bun run build
