Installation

Install Hybrix on your machine using npm, npx for a zero-install experience, or build from source for full control.

Install via npm

The recommended way to install Hybrix is globally via npm. This gives you the hybrix CLI command system-wide.

bash

npm install -g hybrix-lab

Verify the installation by checking the version:

bash

hybrix --version

If you prefer not to install globally, use npx to run Hybrix directly. This always pulls the latest version.

bash

npx hybrix-lab init

Using npx is great for one-off projects or trying Hybrix for the first time. For daily use, a global install avoids the download delay on each run.

Clone the repository and build locally if you want to contribute or customize the core:

bash

git clone https://github.com/hybrix-lab/hybrix.git
cd hybrix
npm install
npm run build
npm link

After linking, the hybrix command points to your local build.

Windows users must use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or a Unix-compatible shell. Native Windows CMD and PowerShell are not supported.
