Installation

Requirements

Node.js ≥ 18.0.0
npm, yarn, or pnpm package manager

Drevon is a CLI tool with zero runtime dependencies in your project. It generates static config files that agents read natively.

Install Methods

npx (Recommended)
Global Install
Project Dev Dependency

Run without installing — always uses the latest version:

npx drevon init

This is the recommended approach for getting started. No global install needed.

Install globally for faster access:

npm install -g drevon

Then use directly:

drevon init
drevon sync
drevon status

Add to an existing project’s dev dependencies:

npm install --save-dev drevon

Then use via npx or add scripts to package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "ai:sync": "drevon sync",
    "ai:status": "drevon status",
    "ai:doctor": "drevon doctor"
  }
}

Verify Installation

drevon --version
# 0.1.0

drevon --help

Upgrading

npx
Global
Dev Dependency

npx always fetches the latest version. No action needed.

npm update -g drevon

npm update drevon

After upgrading, run drevon upgrade to migrate your config if needed, then drevon sync to regenerate agent files:

drevon upgrade
drevon sync

Uninstalling

To remove Drevon from a workspace, delete the generated files:

# Remove Drevon config and data
rm -rf drevon.config.json .drevon/ skills-lock.json

# Remove generated agent configs (be careful if you've customized these)
rm -f .github/copilot-instructions.md CLAUDE.md AGENTS.md
rm -rf .cursor/rules/ .windsurfrules .clinerules
rm -rf .aider/ .continue/rules/drevon.md

To uninstall the global CLI:

npm uninstall -g drevon
