### From Terminal
You should download the executable file or the js file (if Nodejs installed), and run it with the available options.
#### With npm and Nodejs
Tip: You can automate downloading using `wget`, `curl`, or other similar tools.
Install setup-cpp with npm:
#### Executable
```shell
npm install -g setup-cpp
```
Then run `setup-cpp` with the available options.
```shell
# windows example (open PowerShell as admin)
setup-cpp --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --vcpkg true
RefreshEnv.cmd # activate the environment
```
```shell
# linux/macos example
sudo setup-cpp --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --vcpkg true
source ~/.cpprc
```
NOTE: In the `compiler` entry, you can specify the version after `-` like `llvm-11.0.0`. For the tools, you can pass a specific version instead of `true` that chooses the default version
NOTE: On Unix systems, when `setup-cpp` is used locally or in other CI services like GitLab, the environment variables are added to `~/.cpprc`. You should run `source ~/.cpprc` to immediately activate the environment variables. This file is automatically sourced in the next shell restart from `~/.bashrc` or `~/.profile` if `SOURCE_CPPRC` is not set to `0`. To deactivate `.cpprc` in the next shell restart, rename/remove `~/.cpprc`.
NOTE: On Unix systems, if you are already a root user (e.g., in a GitLab runner or Docker), you will not need to use `sudo`.
#### With executable
You can download a self-contained executable file and run it with the available options.
Download the executable for your platform from [here](https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/tag/v0.25.1), and run it with the available options.
Tip: You can automate downloading using `wget`, `curl`, or other similar tools.
An example that installs llvm, cmake, ninja, ccache, and vcpkg:

#### With Nodejs
Download the `setup-cpp.js` file form [here](https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.25.1/setup-cpp.js), and run it with the available options.
On Windows:
Open the shell as admin, download via `curl`, then install
```ps1
# open shell as admin
curl.exe -LJO "https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.25.1/setup-cpp.js"
node ./setup-cpp.js --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --vcpkg true
RefreshEnv.cmd # activate cpp environment variables
```
On Linux or Mac:
```ps1
wget "https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.25.1/setup-cpp.js"
sudo node ./setup-cpp.js --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --vcpkg true
source ~/.cpprc # activate cpp environment variables
```
### Inside GitHub Actions
Here is a complete cross-platform example that tests llvm, gcc, and msvc. It also uses cmake, ninja, vcpkg, and cppcheck.
