Installation
Requirements
Before you can start with the installation of Sipa itself, you need have to be installed
- Node.js runtime version 16.x or above
When installed, you can check if it has been succeeded successfully, by running the following on the command line:
node -v
You should get a output of the node version like this
v16.18.0
Install Sipa CLI tools
Sipa provides a simple but powerful set of command line (CLI) tools to make developing web apps comfortable and fun.
npm vs Yarn
You can install Sipa by using npm or Yarn. npm is the default node package manager. But many people prefer using yarn as it is usually working much faster and gives a better user experience. If you are not sure what to use, then use npm.
If you want to find out more about Yarn, you can find more information about it and how to install it, in its official docs.
- npm
- yarn
npm install -g sipa
yarn global add sipa
Check Sipa installation
After installing Sipa with the command of the previous section, you can check if its CLI is available on the command line:
sipa -v
You should get a response like this:
sipa 0.9.1 @ 2023-12-15T14:21:36.170Z
If you get an error instead, that the command does not exist and used Yarn to install Sipa, ensure that the Yarn bin directory is added to the PATH variable as described in the Yarn docs.
Run sipa help for more information.
Then you can continue with the Sipa CLI.
