vp dlx

Download and run a package without adding it to the project's dependencies.

vp dlx create-vite my-app
vp dlx --silent create-vite my-app

Options

Put Vite+ options before the package or command:

Arguments after the command are passed to the executed program, not parsed as Vite+ options. Shell mode interprets shell syntax; use it only with trusted command strings.

Option	Description	Notes
-p, --package <name>	Make the selected package available to the executed command.	Can be repeated.
-c, --shell-mode	Execute within a shell environment.
-s, --silent	Suppress Vite+ output and request native quiet output where available.

Compatibility

• npm: npm exec --yes.
• pnpm: pnpm dlx.
• Yarn Classic: Fallback: npx --yes.
• Yarn Modern: yarn dlx.
• Bun: bun x.

Option	npm	pnpm	Yarn Classic	Yarn Modern	Bun	Notes
-p, --package <name>	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
