The Tree-sitter CLI allows you to develop, test, and use Tree-sitter grammars from the command line. It works on `MacOS`, `Linux`, and `Windows`.

### Installation

You can install the `tree-sitter-cli` with `cargo`:

```sh
cargo install --locked tree-sitter-cli
```

or with `npm`:

```sh
npm install tree-sitter-cli
```

You can also download a pre-built binary for your platform from [the releases page].

### Dependencies

The `tree-sitter` binary itself has no dependencies, but specific commands have dependencies that must be present at runtime:

* To generate a parser from a grammar, you must have [`node`](https://nodejs.org) on your PATH.
* To run and test parsers, you must have a C and C++ compiler on your system.

### Commands

* `generate` - The `tree-sitter generate` command will generate a Tree-sitter parser based on the grammar in the current working directory. See [the documentation] for more information.

* `test` - The `tree-sitter test` command will run the unit tests for the Tree-sitter parser in the current working directory. See [the documentation] for more information.

* `parse` - The `tree-sitter parse` command will parse a file (or list of files) using Tree-sitter parsers.
