# Installation
## Via Installer
Creating a new project via [`create-codeceptjs` installer](https://github.com/codeceptjs/create-codeceptjs) is the simplest way to start
Install CodeceptJS + Playwright into current directory
```
npx create-codeceptjs .
```
Install CodeceptJS + Puppeteer into current directory
```
npx create-codeceptjs . --puppeteer
```
Install CodeceptJS + webdriverio into current directory
```
npx create-codeceptjs . --webdriverio
```
Install CodeceptJS + webdriverio into `e2e-tests` directory:
```
npx create-codeceptjs e2e-tests --webdriverio
```
## Local
Use NPM install CodeceptJS:
```sh
npm install --save-dev codeceptjs
```
and started as
```sh
./node_modules/.bin/codeceptjs
```
To use it with WebDriver install webdriverio package:
```sh
npm install webdriverio --save-dev
```
To use it with Protractor install protractor package:
```sh
npm install protractor --save-dev
```
To use it with Nightmare install nightmare and nightmare-upload packages:
```sh
npm install nightmare --save-dev
```
To use it with Puppeteer install puppeteer package:
```sh
npm install puppeteer --save-dev
```
## WebDriver
WebDriver based helpers like WebDriver, Protractor, Selenium WebDriver will require [Selenium Server](http://codecept.io/helpers/WebDriver/#selenium-installation) or [PhantomJS](http://codecept.io/helpers/WebDriver/#phantomjs-installation) installed. They will also require ChromeDriver or GeckoDriver to run corresponding browsers.
We recommend to install them manually or use NPM packages:
* [Selenium Standalone](https://www.npmjs.com/package/selenium-standalone) to install and run Selenium, ChromeDriver, Firefox Driver with one package.
* [Phantomjs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/phantomjs-prebuilt): to install and execute Phantomjs
or use [Docker](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium) for headless browser testing.
Launch Selenium with Chrome browser inside a Docker container:
```sh
docker run --net=host selenium/standalone-chrome
```
