Install Neuron via npm or a Standalone Binary

Two install paths, neither more official than the other

Section titled “Two install paths, neither more official than the other”

Neuron ships two fully-supported ways to install it — pick whichever fits your workflow.

Terminal window
# npm (requires Node.js)
npm install -g @kovartravis/neuron
Terminal window
# curl (macOS/Linux) — standalone binary, no Node.js required
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovartravis/neuron/main/install.sh | sh
Terminal window
# PowerShell (Windows) — standalone binary, no Node.js required
powershell -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovartravis/neuron/main/install.ps1 | iex"

Neuron supports macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Keeping it up to date

Section titled “Keeping it up to date”

The upgrade command depends on which path you installed through:

  • Installed via curl or PowerShell: run neuron upgrade to self-update the binary in place.
  • Installed via npm: run npm update -g @kovartravis/neuron.

What happens next

Section titled “What happens next”

Installation only places the neuron binary — it doesn’t touch your project. The quickstart covers neuron init, the command that bootstraps a project to use it.
