# Installation

> Install Fallow via npx, npm, pnpm, yarn, cargo, or a prebuilt binary. Binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

The fastest way to try Fallow is to run it directly:

```bash theme={null}
npx fallow
```

If you use Fallow often, install it globally.

    Prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows. No Rust toolchain required.

    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install -g fallow
    ```

    <Tip>
      The npm package uses `optionalDependencies` to download the correct platform binary automatically.
