== Installation

[TIP]

To use Metanorma, normally you don’t manually install this gem. Depending on your setup, you may find quicker ways to get started: please refer to https://www.metanorma.com/docs/getting-started/[Getting Started] instead.

To install this gem, simply run:

[source,sh]

gem install metanorma-cli

This will install the metanorma executable, which you can use with all officially supported Metanorma flavors (such as ISO, CalConnect, IETF, etc).

However, a number of <<external-dependencies,dependencies>> are not installed with this gem, and have to be installed separately. The process of installing the full suite can be a little more complex.

Generally, we recommend you to follow steps given at https://www.metanorma.org/install/[Metanorma Installation].

But if you aren't afraid of tinkering deeply, please see the https://www.metanorma.org/install/develop/[Developer Installation Notes] for advanced details regarding dependencies and Windows installation notes.
