Installation

Install the Prompt Manager Skills CLI (@elsai/pm-skills).

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or later
• Access to the Prompt Manager package URL

The CLI is a lightweight synchronization client. It connects to the Prompt Manager service (SaaS or your on-prem deployment); it does not install the Prompt Manager server.

Install

npm install -g https://npm.elsai.ai/elsai-pm-skills-0.1.0.tgz

Verify the installation:

pm-skills --version

Expected output:

0.1.0

If global installation fails (Linux)

Some Linux distributions configure npm to install global packages under /usr/local, which may require administrator permissions and produce an EACCES error.

Configure a user-local npm prefix instead:

mkdir -p ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix "$HOME/.npm-global" --location=user

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

npm install -g https://npm.elsai.ai/elsai-pm-skills-0.1.0.tgz

Verify:

which pm-skills
pm-skills --version

TIP

Always use --location=user when configuring the npm prefix. Without it, npm may write the setting into a project's .npmrc instead of your user configuration — and global installs can still fail with EACCES.

Project-local installation

If you prefer not to install globally:

npm init -y
npm install https://npm.elsai.ai/elsai-pm-skills-0.1.0.tgz

Run the CLI:

./node_modules/.bin/pm-skills --help
