To install a WebdriverIO project, you may choose one of the following methods:

npx create-wdio@latest ./e2e

npx is a package runner tool that comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see instructions for older npm versions

npm init wdio@latest ./e2e

npm init <initializer> is available in npm 6+

yarn create wdio@latest ./e2e

yarn create <starter-kit-package> is available in Yarn 0.25+

pnpm create wdio ./e2e

pnpm create <starter-kit-package> is available in pnpm v7+

It will create a directory called e2e inside the current folder. Then it will run the configuration wizard that will help you set-up your framework.

You can pass the following command line flags to modify the bootstrap mechanism:

• --dev - Install all packages as devDependencies (default: true)
• --yes - Will fill in all config defaults without prompting (default: false)
• --npm-tag - use a specific NPM tag for @wdio/cli package (default: latest)
