Frequently asked questions

How do I run the sv CLI?

Running sv looks slightly different for each package manager. Here is a list of the most common commands:

• npm : npx sv create
• pnpm : pnpx sv create or pnpm dlx sv create
• Bun : bunx sv create
• Deno : deno run npm:sv create
• Yarn : yarn dlx sv create

npx sv is not working

Some package managers prefer to run locally installed tools instead of downloading and executing packages from the registry. This issue mostly occurs with npm and yarn. This usually results in an error message or looks like the command you were trying to execute did not do anything.

Here is a list of issues with possible solutions that users have encountered in the past:

• npx sv create does nothing
• sv command name collides with runit
• sv in windows powershell conflicts with Set-Variable
