Installation

The recommended way to install Glad is using Glad CLI. However, it is not necessary, but again highly reccomended. Previous versions of glad included the CLI. In versions >= 1.0.0, the CLI has been abstracted out to a separate package.

Installing Glad CLI

npm install -g glad-cli

Installing Glad without the CLI

npm install glad --save
