## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install the latest stable release with npm via the command-line tool:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
$ npm install strapi-cli -g
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on the permissions on your machine you might need to run the installation as an administrator using `sudo`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo npm install strapi-cli -g
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Verify the installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before creating a new project, let's verify the Strapi installation with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
$ strapi -v
|
|
|
|
2.0.0
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the command doesn't print a version but an error, the installation failed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't encounter any error you now are able to start using Strapi.
