## Installation

The Nexmo CLI requires Node.js 4 or above. If you don't have Node.js installed on your system, go to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and download the appropriate installer for your system.

With Node.js installed, you can then install the `nexmo-cli` package from the npm registry.

```bash
npm install nexmo-cli -g   # Using npm
yarn global add nexmo-cli  # Using yarn
```

> If you see an `EACCES` error when you try to install a package globally, follow the steps outlined at [_How to Prevent Permissions Errors_](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions).

After installation, set up the CLI with your [Nexmo](https://dashboard.nexmo.com/settings) API key and secret:

```bash
> nexmo setup <api_key> <api_secret>
Credentials written to /Users/yourname/.nexmorc
```

This will save your credentials to `~/.nexmorc`. If you want to use different credentials per project, you can pass the `--local` flag as follows:

```bash
> nexmo setup <api_key> <api_secret> --local
```

This will save the config to your local folder instead.

## Usage

Use `--quiet` to silence all but errors and warnings, and use `--verbose` to get more detailed output.
