Installation

gaji can be installed in multiple ways depending on your preference and environment.

No JS Runtime Required

gaji bundles QuickJS internally, so you don't need Node.js or any external JavaScript runtime installed. It works as a standalone binary!

npm

npm install -D gaji

This installs gaji as a dev dependency:

gaji --help

Other Package Managers

# pnpm
pnpm add -D gaji

# yarn
yarn add -D gaji

Cargo

If you have Rust installed, you can install gaji directly from crates.io:

cargo install gaji

This installs the gaji binary globally:

gaji --help
