# Installation
Get BMAD Method running in your project in under 2 minutes.
## Quick Install
```bash
npx bmad-method 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** 20+ (for the installer)
- **Git** (recommended for version control)
- An **AI-powered Agent and/or 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 |
| **CIS** | Creative Intel Suite | Creativity Unlocking Suite, not software dev specific |
| **BMB** | Builder | Creating custom agents and workflows |
You will also be asked if you would like to install custom content (agents, workflows or modules) you have created with the BMB, or shared from others in the community.
## Post-Installation
After installation, your project will have:
```

## Next Steps
