yarn dlx

Install a temporary package and run it

yarn dlx <NAME> <ARGS…>

This command installs packages in a temporary project and runs a binary from that temporary install. The binary runs from the current working directory.

By default Yarn installs the package named by the command. Use -p,--package to install one or more packages while running a binary with a different name.

yarn dlx is intended for one-off commands. It doesn’t record the installed packages in your project, so it shouldn’t replace yarn add for dependencies you rely on.

#--quiet, -qboolean

Suppress the install unless it errors

#--package, -pboolean

The package(s) to install before running the command
