Installation

Install the skillpm CLI using your preferred method.

npm (recommended)

Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Requires Node.js 20 or later.

npm install -g skilldex-cli

Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

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

curl (macOS/Linux)

Requires Node.js 20+. The script checks your environment and installs via npm.

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

Scoop (Windows)

Requires Node.js 20+ and Scoop.

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

Verify the install

After installing, confirm the CLI is working:

skillpm --version

You should see the version number printed to stdout, for example 0.1.0.

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
