# Installation
Get BMAD Method running in your project in under 2 minutes.
## Quick Install
```bash
npx bmad-method@alpha install
```
This interactive installer will:
1. Detect your IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, etc.)
2. Let you choose which modules to install
3. Configure agents and workflows for your project
## Requirements
- **Node.js** 18+ (for the installer)
- **Git** (recommended for version control)
- An **AI-powered IDE** or access to Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini
## Module Options
During installation, you'll choose which modules to install:
| Module | Description | Best For |
| -------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **BMM** | BMAD Method Core | Software development projects |
| **BMGD** | Game Development | Game projects with specialized workflows |
| **BMB** | Builder | Creating custom agents and workflows |
## Post-Installation
After installation, your project will have:
```
your-project/
├── _bmad/ # BMAD configuration and agents
│ ├── bmm/ # Method module (if installed)
│ ├── bmgd/ # Game dev module (if installed)
│ └── config.yaml # Your project configuration
├── .claude/ # IDE-specific setup (varies by IDE)
└── ... your code
```
## Next Steps
1. **Read the [Quick Start Guide](../modules/bmm/quick-start.md)** to build your first feature
2. **Check your [IDE Guide](../ide-info/index.md)** for IDE-specific tips
3. **Explore [Workflows](../modules/bmm/workflows-planning.md)** to understand the methodology
## Alternative: Web Bundles
Don't want to install? Use BMAD agents directly in:
- **Claude Projects** - Upload the web bundle
- **ChatGPT** - Use custom GPT bundles
- **Gemini** - Import agent prompts
See the [Web Bundles Guide](../web-bundles-gemini-gpt-guide.md) for details.
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**"Command not found: npx"**
: Install Node.js 18+ from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org)
**"Permission denied"**
: Run with appropriate permissions or check your npm configuration
**IDE not detected**
: The installer will prompt you to select your IDE manually
