## Package Manager Performance

| Package Manager | Startup Time | Market Share |
|----------------|--------------|--------------|
| Bun (bunx)     | ~0.05s       | ~5%          |
| Deno           | ~0.1s        | ~5%          |
| pnpm (pnpx)    | ~0.5s        | ~10%         |
| npm (npx)      | ~2-5s        | ~80%         |

**Recommendation**: For fastest performance, use `bunx` if you have Bun installed.

## Configuration

No configuration required! The CLI automatically:

- Detects your Claude Code installation directory
- Finds your global plugins directory (`~/.claude/plugins`)
- Detects project-local plugins (`.claude-plugin/` directory)
- Creates necessary directories if they don't exist

### Supported Paths

**Linux & macOS:**
- Config: `~/.claude`
- Plugins: `~/.claude/plugins`
- Marketplaces: `~/.claude/marketplaces`

**Windows:**
- Config: `%APPDATA%\Claude`
- Plugins: `%APPDATA%\Claude\plugins`
- Marketplaces: `%APPDATA%\Claude\marketplaces`

## Requirements

- Node.js 18.0.0 or higher
- Claude Code installed and run at least once

## Troubleshooting

### "Claude Code config directory not found"

Ensure Claude Code is installed and has been run at least once. The CLI looks for:
- Linux/macOS: `~/.claude`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude`

Run `ccpi doctor` to diagnose installation issues.

### Permission Errors

If you get permission errors during installation:

1. Try installing locally (project-level) instead of globally
2. Check that you have write permissions to the Claude directories
3. Run `ccpi doctor` to check your setup

### Plugin Not Found

If a plugin can't be found:

1. Check the plugin name spelling
2. Run `ccpi list --all` to see available plugins
3. Visit [claudecodeplugins.io](https://claudecodeplugins.io) to browse the full marketplace
4. Ensure your marketplace catalog is up to date

## Development

### Setup

```bash
npm install
npm run build
```

### Testing

```bash
npm test
```

### Build

```bash
npm run build
```

This compiles TypeScript to JavaScript in the `dist/` directory.

## Architecture

The CLI is built with:

- **Commander.js** - CLI framework
- **Chalk** - Terminal styling
- **Ora** - Loading spinners
- **fs-extra** - File system operations
- **axios** - HTTP requests
