The fastest way to try Fallow is to run it directly:

npx fallow

If you use Fallow often, install it globally.

Prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows. No Rust toolchain required.

```bash
npm install -g fallow
```

<Tip>
  The npm package uses `optionalDependencies` to download the correct platform binary automatically.
</Tip>

```bash pnpm add -g fallow ``` ```bash yarn global add fallow ``` Use this if you already have a Rust toolchain.

```bash
cargo install fallow-cli
```

Download prebuilt binaries from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/fallow-rs/fallow/releases).
