Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+ — Download
• pnpm 9+ — Install guide

Check your versions:

node --version   # Should be >= 20
pnpm --version   # Should be >= 9

Install from Source

git clone https://github.com/walidabualafia/caretforge.git
cd caretforge
pnpm install
pnpm build

Link the CLI Globally

After building, link the binary so you can use caretforge from anywhere:

pnpm link --global

Verify it works:

caretforge --version
# 0.1.0

Running without Installing Globally

If you prefer not to link globally, you can run directly:

# From the project directory
node dist/index.js --help

# Or using npx/tsx for development
npx tsx src/index.ts --help
