# Firebase Tools Install and Setup

### 1. Install package

```bash
npm install -g firebase-tools
```

or with `yarn`

```bash
yarn global add firebase-tools
```

You can also choose to install it as a dependency for your project rather than globally

```bash
npm install --save-dev firebase-tools
```

or with `yarn`

```bash
yarn add -D firebase-tools
```

### 2. Configure Firebase Tools

In your projects root directory run:

```bash
firebase init
```

or if your installed it within your project rather than globally

```bash
npx firebase init
```

or with `yarn`

```bash
yarn firebase init
```

This will ask you to login if you are not logged in already, the process will take you through a browser
redirect to log you into Firebase.
