Claude CodeOn this pageLast updated: 2026-08-25With Node in place, install the two global tools used before you create your first app:bash
```
npm install -g @evenrealities/evenhub-cli @evenrealities/evenhub-simulator
```
The SDK is different: it is a project dependency, not a global tool. Install it only after you have an app project with a package.json.
## Simulator ​
Installed by the global tooling command above.Current version: 0.9.3, tracking SDK 0.0.14. Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Usage and caveats are in Simulator; what each release added is in the Changelog.npm: @evenrealities/evenhub-simulator
## CLI ​
Installed by the global tooling command above. The CLI handles QR sideloading, manifest scaffolding, and .ehpk packaging. It ships an evenhub binary and a shorter eh alias.Current version: 0.1.14. Release history is in the Changelog.npm: @evenrealities/evenhub-cliFull command list in the CLI Reference; the manifest schema and packaging walkthrough is in Packaging & Deployment.
## SDK ​
The SDK is a project dependency - your app imports from it, so it lives in your app's node_modules, not on the system. No -g.Route A in Your First App creates a Vite project first, then runs this command from inside that project directory (the one with package.json):bash
```
npm install @evenrealities/even_hub_sdk@latest
```
Route B uses the official templates, which already include the SDK. For templates, run npm install for the template dependencies; do not install the SDK separately.Current version: 0.0.14, published 2026-08-20, with an Even App floor of 2.2.9. Whatever version you install, match it in app.json's min_sdk_version.It covers display control, input, the contextual menu, tap then long press, audio (glasses or phone mic), IMU, location, photo album and phone camera, device info, and local storage.
