You can choose to install Pecker through one of the following ways (or both, if you want):

• as a command-line interpreter (CLI) program, allowing you to run Pecker from any directory
• as a local NodeJS module within your project directory

To install Pecker CLI

Installing Pecker CLI program allows you to run Pecker from any directory. It also allows you to quickly initialize your project to start using Pecker easily.

$ npm install pecker-cli -g
