## Installation

Install the Squads CLI globally:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash npm theme={null}
  npm install -g squads-cli
  ```

  ```bash yarn theme={null}
  yarn global add squads-cli
  ```

  ```bash pnpm theme={null}
  pnpm add -g squads-cli
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Initialize Your Project

Create a new squads project:

```bash theme={null}

│   │       └── SQUAD.md
│   └── memory/
