Dependencies

Most distro's include node in their package managers, but we recommend Node 20 LTS.

These instructions use curl to download the install scripts. wget -O- does the same thing.

Node, using nvm

Node Version Manager is a great tool for installing, updating, and switching Node installs on your system.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.0/install.sh | bash

After nvm is installed, use it to install Node 20 LTS: nvm install 20

Yarn

Yarn provides powerful, reliable and deterministic package management functionality.

npm install -g yarn


Install Electric UI

The install script downloads arc, validates your environment, and prepares you for project creation.

curl https://install.electricui.com | bash
