Installation

System requirements

  • MacOS, Linux, or Windows (via WSL). Windows without WSL is not currently supported.
  • Node.js 18 or 20
  • npm, yarn, or pnpm (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).

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.
