Installing dependencies

Run the following to install all dependnecies required for your Bit workspace:

$bit install

Copied

After installation is complete, package and component dependnecies required by your workspace are resolved and you can start development.

To install a Bit component, run:

$bit install @bitdesign/sparks.actions.button

Copied

Components can be imported for local testing or changes and ejected back to be an external dependency. Learn more in Importing components.

To add a new external dependency run the following:

$bit install lodash

Copied

The version installed defaults to the latest. To install a specific version, specify the version to install:

$bit install lodash@1.0.0

Copied

New dependencies isntalled are added to workspace configuration, and installed in the workspace node_modules directory. Components that have this dependency will resolve to this version (unless specified otherwise).

// workspace.jsonc
{
  "teambit.dependencies/dependency-resolver": {
    "policy": {
      "dependencies": {
        "lodash": "1.0.0"
      }
    }
  }
}
