Downloads

Install the npm package, browser binaries, or native desktop app from the Downloads page.

The Downloads page is in the secondary navigation at the bottom of the sidebar. It gives you everything you need to run tests on your own machine or integrate SmoothDeploy into a CI pipeline.

For first-time installation, see Set Up SmoothDeploy.

Node.js Requirement

NPM Package

The NPM Package section shows the command to install the SmoothDeploy-modified Playwright CLI globally. The command includes the exact version pinned to your organization's Playwright version:

npm install -g @smoothdeploy/playwright@<version>

Copy it with the button next to it.
