Installation

How to install semtest on your machine.

npm

Install semtest globally with npm:

bash

npm install -g @westopp/semtest

After installing, verify it works:

bash

semtest --help

Run semtest without installing:

bash

npx @westopp/semtest run

This downloads the latest version on every invocation — no global install needed.

Install via the semtest tap:

bash

brew install westopp/semtest/semtest

One-line installer that checks prerequisites and installs via npm:

bash

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/westopp/westopp-libraries/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

If semtest is installed but your shell can't find it, you need to add the npm global bin directory to your PATH.

Find the npm global prefix:

bash

npm prefix -g

Then add the bin subdirectory to your shell config:

Add to ~/.bashrc:

bash

export PATH="$(npm prefix -g)/bin:$PATH"

Add to ~/.zshrc:

bash

export PATH="$(npm prefix -g)/bin:$PATH"

Add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

fish

set -gx PATH (npm prefix -g)/bin $PATH

After editing, restart your terminal or source the file:

bash

source ~/.bashrc   # or ~/.zshrc

Run semtest uninstall to see instructions for your installation method.
