AAnswerLint

getting started

Installation

Install AnswerLint globally or run it directly with npx in a few minutes.

AnswerLint is a CLI for auditing pages and content repositories for AEO and GEO readiness. The fastest path is a global npm install, but `npx` works well when you want to run it without installing anything permanently.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18 or newer
  • npm available in your terminal
  • A public URL or local Markdown/HTML content to audit

Install globally

Command

npm install -g answerlint

Global installation is useful if you expect to run audits often from your terminal or CI runners with a fixed setup.

Run without installing

Command

npx answerlint audit --help

This is the easiest way to try the tool for the first time or use it in a disposable environment.

Verify the installation

Command

# or

Recommended next step

After installation, go straight to the Quick Start page and run one URL audit plus one local-file audit. That gives you both the happy path and the stable local workflow.
