Installing Snowtype will also create a local executable snowtype which you can use with npx, yarn or pnpm directly when on your project's directory.

npm

npx @snowplow/snowtype init
# Same as
npx snowtype init

We will show example commands using npm/npx but it should work the same with any other package manager.
