Install Cypress in this project and open it. 1. Pick the package manager from the lockfile in the project root: package-lock.json (npm), yarn.lock (Yarn), pnpm-lock.yaml (pnpm), bun.lock or bun.lockb (Bun). If there is no lockfile, use npm. 2. Check that Node.js and the package manager meet the system requirements in the install guide: https://docs.cypress.io/app/get-started/install-cypress.md?utm_medium=website&utm_source=cypress.io&utm_content=install-ai-prompt 3. From the project root, install Cypress as a dev dependency: - npm: npm install cypress --save-dev - Yarn: yarn add cypress --dev - pnpm: pnpm add --save-dev cypress - Bun: bun add --dev cypress 4. Confirm the Cypress binary is installed: - npm: npx cypress verify - Yarn: yarn cypress verify - pnpm: pnpm cypress verify - Bun: bunx cypress verify If verification fails because the package manager blocked Cypress's postinstall script, follow the package manager configuration steps in the install guide, then verify again. 5. Launch Cypress. `cypress open` keeps running until the Cypress window is closed, so start it without waiting for it to exit: - npm: npx cypress open - Yarn: yarn cypress open - pnpm: pnpm cypress open - Bun: bunx cypress open Don't create a Cypress config or spec files yourself. Cypress may show a welcome screen first. After that, I choose end-to-end or component testing in the Cypress window, and Cypress scaffolds the config for me. When you're done, tell me which package manager you used and what you changed.
