# Installation

> Get started with tfts by installing the SDK and setting up your environment.

## Prerequisites

Before installing tfts, ensure you have the following requirements met:

* **Node.js**: Version 18 or higher.
* **Terraform CLI**: Installed and available in your system PATH.
* **TypeScript**: Version 5.0 or higher is recommended.

## Installing the SDK

You can install tfts using your preferred package manager.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash npm theme={null}
  npm install tfts
  ```

  ```bash yarn theme={null}
  yarn add tfts
  ```

  ```bash pnpm theme={null}
  pnpm add tfts
  ```

  ```bash bun theme={null}
  bun add tfts
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Verifying Installation

To verify that tfts is installed correctly, you can check the version of the CLI:

```bash theme={null}
npx tfts --version
```

If you are using Bun:

```bash theme={null}
bun x tfts --version
```

## TypeScript Configuration

tfts relies on modern TypeScript features. We recommend the following settings in your `tsconfig.json`:

```json tsconfig.json theme={null}
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "strict": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true
  }
}
```

## ESM Module Setup

tfts is designed to work with ECMAScript Modules (ESM). Ensure your `package.json` includes the `type: module` field:

```json package.json theme={null}
{
  "name": "my-terraform-project",
  "type": "module",
  "dependencies": {
    "tfts": "latest"
  }
}
```
