Installation
System requirements
- MacOS, Linux, or Windows (via WSL (opens in a new tab)). Windows without WSL is not currently supported.
- Node.js 18 or 20 (opens in a new tab)
- npm, yarn (opens in a new tab), or pnpm (opens in a new tab) (recommended)
⚠️
If you encounter an installation error, try npm install -g node-gyp and then
run create-ponder again. Ponder often requires node-gyp to be installed
globally to build better-sqlite3 from source
(#1043 (opens in a new tab)).
Create Ponder
The Create Ponder CLI tool sets up everything automatically for you. If Create Ponder runs without error, your system meets the requirements and you should be good to go.
