Installation

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or later
• One of: npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun

Install Globally

Install ripen as a global CLI tool with your preferred package manager:

pnpm add -g ripencli

Verify Installation

After installing, verify that ripen is available:

ripen --version

This should print the current version number (e.g., 0.2.8).

Usage

Once installed, navigate to any project directory and run:

ripen

ripen will automatically detect your package manager and show outdated dependencies.

For global packages:

ripen -g

Updating ripen

ripen checks for updates automatically. When a new version is available, you'll see a notification in the UI. You can update it the same way you installed it:

pnpm update -g ripencli

Or let ripen update itself — it will prompt you when a newer version is detected.
