# Easy CMS 0.22: one installer for npm, pnpm, Yarn and Bun

> create-easy-cms now detects your package manager, prints next steps in its own commands, and sets up Yarn 2+ for you.

Until 0.22, `create-easy-cms` assumed npm. It installed packages with npm and told you to run `npx easy-cms migrate`, even inside a pnpm workspace or a Bun project. Now it works in the package manager you already use.

## How it picks

- `--pm npm|pnpm|yarn|bun` when you pass it.
- Otherwise the project's `packageManager` field, then its lockfile.
- Otherwise the one you ran it with, so `bun create easy-cms` uses Bun.

```bash
pnpm create easy-cms --db sqlite
```

## Next steps in your own commands

The steps it prints at the end use that package manager: `pnpm exec easy-cms migrate`, `yarn easy-cms migrate`, `bunx easy-cms migrate`, `bun run dev`. When the package manager isn't installed, it says how to get it and prints the install commands instead of failing halfway.

## Yarn 2 and later

Easy CMS doesn't support Plug'n'Play, so with Yarn 2 or later the scaffolder writes `.yarnrc.yml` with `nodeLinker: node-modules` for you.

## The docs follow

Every command in the docs now has a tab for npm, pnpm, Yarn and Bun, translated the same way the scaffolder prints them. Pick one once and every page shows it.
