Installation

All the ways to install Aspect Code.

CLI via npm (recommended)

Install globally:

npm install -g aspectcode

Then run in any project:

cd your-project
aspectcode

npx (no install)

Run without installing:

npx aspectcode

Good for trying it out or CI environments.

VS Code extension

The VS Code extension is a thin launcher that runs the CLI as a subprocess.

Open VS Code

Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)

Search for "Aspect Code"

Click Install

The extension automatically runs the CLI when you open a project. All features are the same — the extension just provides a convenient way to launch it.

Requirements

Node.js 18 or later

npm or npx (comes with Node.js)

No other dependencies. No account required. Works fully offline.
