wapm: Download a package and install it globally.
$ wapm install --global ${package_name}
try on your machine

The command wapm install --global ${package_name} is used to install a WebAssembly package globally using the wapm (WebAssembly Package Manager) tool.

Here's what each part of the command means:

  • wapm: It's the command-line tool used to interact with the wapm registry and install/manage WebAssembly packages.
  • install: It's the subcommand used to install a package.
  • --global: It's an option indicating that the package should be installed globally, which means it will be available for all projects on your system.
  • ${package_name}: It's a placeholder representing the name of the desired package you want to install.

You need to replace ${package_name} with the actual name of the package you want to install. For example, if you want to install a package named "my-package", you should execute the command as: wapm install --global my-package.

By running this command, the specified WebAssembly package will be downloaded from the wapm registry and installed globally, making it accessible for usage in any project on your system.
