Use preset with npx

[hwaterke]

Is it possible to use a preset with npx?
Or do I need to install both mrm and the preset globally?

Never tried that but it may work. Do you have an example of a preset and a task you want to run?

[hwaterke]

Sure, npx mrm prettier --preset hwaterke for example.
Prints Preset “hwaterke” not found.

It would be really nice if I could run a task from a preset without installing anything globally.

I did a quick googling and looks like npx doesn't support that.

Alright! I got to the same results.
Thanks for looking it up 😉

@hwaterke I know it's been a while, but you could try:

npx --package mrm --package hwaterke -- mrm prettier --preset hwaterke

(I think you can omit --package mrm if you have mrm already installed globally)

Although, if you plan to use the preset frequently, it's best to globally install it since npx, in this case, will always download it
