Install/Update Wrangler

Wrangler is a command-line tool for building with Cloudflare developer products.

​​ Install Wrangler

To install Wrangler Open external link , ensure you have Node.js Open external link and npm Open external link installed, preferably using a Node version manager like Volta Open external link or nvm Open external link . Using a version manager helps avoid permission issues and allows you to change Node.js versions. Wrangler requires a Node version of 16.17.0 or later.

Wrangler is installed locally into each of your projects. This allows you and your team to use the same Wrangler version, control Wrangler versions for each project, and roll back to an earlier version of Wrangler, if needed.

To install Wrangler within your Worker project, run:

$ npm install wrangler --save-dev

$ yarn add --dev wrangler

Since Cloudflare recommends installing Wrangler locally in your project (rather than globally), the way to run Wrangler will depend on your specific setup and package manager. Refer to How to run Wrangler commands for more information.

$ npx wrangler --version
