#### Installing ospec globally
#### Direct use from the command line
While it's recommended to install ospec locally to maintain reproducible environments, sometimes it may be deemed appropriate to install it globally. To do so, run this command:
Ospec doesn't work when installed globally. Using global scripts is generally a bad idea since you can end up with different, incompatible versions of the same package installed locally and globally.
To work around this limitation, you can use [`npm-run`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-run) which enables one to run the binaries of locally installed packages.
```
npm install ospec -g
npm install npm-run -g
```
Then, from a project that has ospec installed as a (dev) dependency:
```
npm-run ospec
```
