# Installation

## Prerequisites

First, you need to make sure that you have an environment compatible with bot.ts.

One of these runtimes:

* Node.js `^=22.x.x`
* Deno `^=2.1.1`
* Bun `^=1.1.36` (recommended)

If you use Node.js, one of these package managers:

* npm `^=9.x.x`
* Yarn `^=1.22.22`
* pnpm `^=9.14.2`

Else, you can use the built-in package manager of Deno or Bun.

## Install the CLI

To install bot.ts, you must first install globaly the CLI with the following command.

```bash
npm i -g @ghom/bot.ts-cli@latest
```

Then you can run the following command and let yourself be guided.

```bash
bot new

# or if you won't install the CLI globally
npx @ghom/bot.ts-cli new
pnpx @ghom/bot.ts-cli new # if you use pnpm
bunx @ghom/bot.ts-cli new # if you use bun
yarn dlx @ghom/bot.ts-cli new # if you use yarn
```
