Quick Start
Prerequisites: Node.js v20+
npx bmad-method@alpha install
Follow the installer prompts to configure your project.
Once you have installed BMad to a folder, launch your tool of choice from where you installed BMad. (We really like Claude Code and Cursor - but there are any that work great with BMad!)
Then its simple as running the command: /bmad-help if you do not know what to do. Depending on which modules you have installed, you will have different choices.
To make the help more applicable you can even run the /bmad-help What do you suggest I do to get started building a brand new web application for XYZ.
The results from BMad Help will be able to suggest and constantly guide you on what to do next - along with the workflows upon completion also making suggestions on what to do next.
