Install the Vibgrate CLI with pnpm, yarn, or bun

If your team standardizes on pnpm, yarn, or bun, you can install the Vibgrate CLI (@vibgrate/cli) with any of them. The installed binary is always vg, and a bare vg scans the current directory.

pnpm

Global install:

pnpm add -g @vibgrate/cli

Project dev dependency:

pnpm add -D @vibgrate/cli

Run it:

vg

yarn

Global install:

yarn global add @vibgrate/cli

Project dev dependency:

yarn add --dev @vibgrate/cli

bun

Global install:

bun add -g @vibgrate/cli

Project dev dependency:

bun add -d @vibgrate/cli

Verify and scan

After any of the above:

vg --version
vg

Vibgrate reports a DriftScore from 0 to 100 and the findings it detected.

Run without a global install

Each package manager can execute the CLI directly:

pnpm dlx @vibgrate/cli scan
yarn dlx @vibgrate/cli scan
bunx @vibgrate/cli scan

These are equivalent to the npm form npx @vibgrate/cli scan.

Troubleshooting

• vg: command not found after a global install — confirm your package manager's global bin directory is on PATH. pnpm in particular requires running its setup step once.
• Version drift across the team — prefer a project dev dependency so everyone runs the same CLI version.
