Install
🍺 Homebrew (macOS)
brew tap greenarmor/gesf
brew install ges
Installs Node.js automatically. One command, zero config.
📦 npm
npm install -g @greenarmor/ges
Requires Node.js >= 22. The ges command is available system-wide.
📦 pnpm
pnpm add -g @greenarmor/ges
⚡ npx (no install)
npx @greenarmor/ges init
Downloads and runs on demand. No global install. Best for CI/one-off use.
All methods produce the same ges CLI. Homebrew manages Node.js automatically. npm/pnpm require Node.js installed separately. npx requires nothing — it fetches everything at runtime.
Windows troubleshooting
If ges is not recognized after install, the npm global bin directory is not in your PATH:
# Check where npm installs globals
npm config get prefix
# Use npx as a quick alternative (no PATH needed)
npx @greenarmor/ges --version
# Or add npm's prefix to PATH permanently
$currentPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "User")
$npmPrefix = "$(npm config get prefix)"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "$currentPath;$npmPrefix", "User")
# Restart PowerShell, then:
ges --version
If you use nvm-windows, global packages don't carry over between Node versions — re-run npm install -g @greenarmor/ges after nvm use.
Usage
cd your-project
ges init # Set up GESF in your project
