Running Binaries ​

Use vpx, vp exec, and vp dlx to run binaries without switching between local installs, downloaded packages, and project-specific tools.

Overview ​

vpx executes a command from a local or remote npm package. It can run a package that is already available locally, download a package on demand, or target an explicit package version.

Use the other binary commands when you need stricter control:

  • vpx resolves a package binary locally first and can download it when needed
  • vp exec runs a binary from the current project's node_modules/.bin
  • vp dlx runs a package binary without adding it as a dependency

vpx ​

Use vpx for running any local or remote binary:

bash
vpx <pkg[@version]> [args...]

Options ​

  • -p, --package <name> installs one or more packages before running the command
  • -c, --shell-mode executes the command inside a shell
  • -s, --silent suppresses Vite+ output and only shows the command output

Examples ​

bash
vpx eslint .
vpx create-vue my-app
vpx typescript@5.5.4 tsc --version
vpx -p cowsay -c 'echo "hi" | cowsay'

vp exec ​

Use vp exec when the binary must come from the current project, for example a binary from a dependency installed in node_modules/.bin.

bash
vp exec <command> [args...]

Examples:

bash
vp exec eslint .
vp exec tsc --noEmit

vp dlx ​

Use vp dlx for one-off package execution without adding the package to your project dependencies.

bash
vp dlx <package> [args...]

Examples:

bash
vp dlx create-vite
vp dlx typescript tsc --version
