Installation

How to install the Athena CLI globally or run it ephemerally with npx.

Setup
$npm install -g project-athena

Prerequisites

  • Node.js: Requires Node.js ≥ 22.12.0. Check your version with node -v.
  • Operating System: macOS, Linux, or Windows.
  • Git (optional): if present, Athena records the branch and commit and uses Git history to detect changes. Without Git, those details are reported as unknown.

Global Installation via npm

Install the Athena CLI globally using npm:

bash
npm install -g project-athena

Verify your installation:

bash
athena --version

Ephemeral Execution via npx

If you prefer not to install globally, execute Athena directly in your project root:

bash
npx project-athena init
