Installation

The npm package is skilldex-cli; it installs the skillpm command and its short alias spm. Every method needs Node.js 20 or later.

npm (recommended)

Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

npm install -g skilldex-cli

Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

brew tap pandemonium-research/skilldex
brew install skilldex-cli

curl (macOS/Linux)

The script checks your environment and installs via npm.

curl -fsSL https://skilldex-web.vercel.app/install.sh | sh

Scoop (Windows)

Requires Scoop.

scoop bucket add skilldex https://github.com/Pandemonium-Research/scoop-skilldex
scoop install skilldex-cli

Verify the install

skillpm --version

This prints the installed version.

Troubleshooting

Command not found after npm install

Make sure your global npm bin directory is in your PATH:

npm config get prefix
# Add the output path + /bin to your PATH

Permission denied on macOS/Linux

Avoid using sudo with npm. Instead, configure npm to use a directory you own:

npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global
export PATH=$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
