# Installation

> Install Chameleon, understand the package format, and prepare a TypeScript project for development.

## Requirements

* Node.js with ESM support
* TypeScript
* A Discord bot token

## Install

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
npm install @impulsedev/chameleon
```

Chameleon publishes:

* ESM runtime at `dist/index.js`
* Type declarations at `dist/index.d.ts`

## Project assumptions

The package itself is ESM-first. If you are using TypeScript, make sure your project is configured for ESM-compatible output and resolution.

Typical expectations:

* `"type": "module"` in `package.json`
* modern TypeScript module resolution
* import syntax instead of `require(...)`

## Development scripts in this repo

If you are working inside the Chameleon repository itself, useful scripts are:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
npm run typecheck
npm run build
npm run test
```
