Install

🍺  Homebrew (macOS)

brew tap greenarmor/gesf
brew install ges

Installs Node.js automatically. One command, zero config.

📦  npm

npm install -g @greenarmor/ges

Requires Node.js >= 22. The ges command is available system-wide.

📦  pnpm

pnpm add -g @greenarmor/ges

⚡  npx (no install)

npx @greenarmor/ges init

Downloads and runs on demand. No global install. Best for CI/one-off use.

All methods produce the same ges CLI. Homebrew manages Node.js automatically. npm/pnpm require Node.js installed separately. npx requires nothing — it fetches everything at runtime.

Windows troubleshooting

If ges is not recognized after install, the npm global bin directory is not in your PATH:

# Check where npm installs globals
npm config get prefix

# Use npx as a quick alternative (no PATH needed)
npx @greenarmor/ges --version

# Or add npm's prefix to PATH permanently
$currentPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "User")
$npmPrefix = "$(npm config get prefix)"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "$currentPath;$npmPrefix", "User")
# Restart PowerShell, then:
ges --version

If you use nvm-windows, global packages don't carry over between Node versions — re-run npm install -g @greenarmor/ges after nvm use.

Usage

cd your-project
ges init          # Set up GESF in your project
ges audit         # Scan for compliance issues
ges score         # View compliance score
ges infer         # AI-powered insights
ges dashboard     # Start web dashboard
