## Installation
**Using `npx`**
If you don't prefer to install the CLI, you can use it through `npx` this way
```sh
npx matron --help
```
**Install with `npm`**
You can also install the CLI globally
```sh
npm i -g matron
matron --help
```
## Quick start
The minimal setup required to use matron and scaffold a new project is a **`matron.yml`** file.
Let's start with the example below:
📄 **`matron.yml`**
```yml
jobs:
create-folder:
name: Create project folder
steps:
- RUN: npx mkdirp ${PROJECT_PATH}
init-project:
name: Initialize package.json
steps:
- WORKDIR: ${PROJECT_PATH}
- RUN: npm init -y
add-typescript:
name: Add TypeScript
steps:
- RUN: yarn add -D typescript
```
▶️ **matron command**
```sh
matron create --matron-file=./matron.yml --project my-project
```
Let's break down each steps:
1. **Create project folder**
1. `RUN: npx mkdirp ${PROJECT_PATH}`: With the `RUN` command you can execute any command that is possible to execute on your shell.
2. Here we are using [`mkdirp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mkdirp) to create a folder at the path `my-project`.
3. `${PROJECT_PATH}` is a default environment variable provided when you specify the option `--project`.
2. **Initialize package.json**
1. `WORKDIR: ${PROJECT_PATH}`: With the `WORKDIR` command, all the subsequent `RUN` commands will be executed in the specified path, in this case `${PROJECT_PATH}` equals `my-project`.
2. `RUN: npm init -y`: This will create a minimal `package.json` file.
3. **Add TypeScript**
1. `RUN: yarn add -D typescript`: Add TypeScript as dev dependencies.
When executed, this will result in the following file tree:
```sh
my-project
├── node_modules
├── package.json
└── yarn.lock
```
