[Feature Request] Install locally

[lonix1]

I installed via npm i -D @strest/cli, and installed the vscode plugin. When I run it I with ctrl+alt+r I get the error

/bin/sh: 1: strest: not found

The docs say to install globally, presumably then it would work. Many people don't install anything globally, ever, other than npm itself.

Please tell me to how I can make this work?

If it's not currently possible, please add the ability to install locally. Or perhaps add a config file, so we can specify where to find the executable, or that it should run using npx.

I nonetheless tried a global install, and that didn't work... :(

does yarn work?

[lonix1]

@jgroom33 I don't know anything about yarn...

[jgroom33]

yarn is a newer package manager than npm

[lonix1]

But presumably it will also install to /bin, so the original problem holds. A local install is the safest option.

If that's not viable, feel free to close. Maybe we can talk about it again if this gets upvotes / interest?

[jgroom33]

I think since it is a cli tool that requiring global install is acceptable.
But if there is another/better option, it should be implemented.

[jgroom33]

The plugin should be implemented by using strest as an api instead of launching a shell.
There is no API for strest currently.
