 Setting up Gemini-CLI


sudo apt install npm

node -v
npm -v

npm install -g @google/gemini-cli  (this failed as I did not have sudo)

sudo npm install -g @google/gemini-cli

gemini --version ( failure)

To the drawing board. 

sudo apt remove npm


It seems not the latest version of NPM was installed. 

sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl git -y
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

node -v
npm -v


gemini
ctrl-c

mkdir gemini-project
cd gemini-project
gemini
