title: Icon Genie CLI Installation
---
> [!WARNING]
> **Do not use uneven versions of Node.js i.e. 19, 21, 23 etc.** These versions aren't tested with Quasar and often cause issues due to their experimental nature. We highly recommend always using the LTS version of Node.

You will be installing the Icon Genie CLI globally. You don't need to install it in your project folder.

```bash
# Node.js >=22 is required.
pnpm add -g @quasar/icongenie@latest
```

This will install the `icongenie` command line tool.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Attention developers on Windows**

> If you get an error like "pngquant failed to build" then you need to also globally install windows-build-tools ("yarn global add windows-build-tools" or "npm install --global windows-build-tools"). Then go to C:\Users\<windows_username>\.windows-build-tools and run vs_BuildTools.exe. From there select npm/yarn and python to install. After this step it might require you to reboot your machine, otherwise you can now install @quasar/icongenie.
