Installation#

System Requirements#

Takomo is built with Node.js and requires:

• Node.js v22.16.0 or later
• macOS or Linux (Takomo is not compatible with Windows)

Ensure Node.js is installed before proceeding. You can check your version with:

node --version

Install as a Project Dependency (Recommended)#

The preferred way to use Takomo is by installing it as a local development dependency in your project. This ensures consistent behavior across environments and teams.

Initialize your project (if not already initialized):

npm init -y

Install Takomo locally:

npm install --save-dev takomo

Verify the installation:

npx tkm --version

Install Globally (Optional)#

For quick experimentation or global access, you can also install Takomo globally:

npm install -g takomo

Then verify the installation:

tkm --version

You don’t need to use npx if installed globally—tkm will be available directly from the shell.
