# Installation

To install sui.direct CLI, you need [Node.js and NPM](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) on your machine.

Then run this command to install [sui.direct NPM package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sui-direct) globally.

```bash
npm install -g sui-direct
```

The script will also install the `direct-vcs` as a binary or executable file depending on your operating system. To learn more about VCS, refer to the [Version Control System reference](https://docs.sui.direct/cli/version-control-system).

Now you are ready to run sui.direct commands with `direct` prefix.
