-> **Also published as [`@christophervr/pptx-viewer`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@christophervr/pptx-viewer)** -- the two package names are identical releases of the same code. Use whichever name you prefer; they are always published together and kept in sync.
+> The interactive installer for the [pptx-viewer](https://github.com/ChristopherVR/pptx-viewer) family: pick what you're building, and it installs the right package(s) plus their required companions, or bootstraps a brand-new starter app for you.
 
-> A TypeScript library that **reads, creates, edits, and saves** PowerPoint (`.pptx`) files. It runs in the browser and in Node.js, with no native or system dependencies.
+![The pptx-viewer editor: ribbon toolbar, slide thumbnails, and a slide rendered on the canvas](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChristopherVR/pptx-viewer/main/.github/assets/editor.png)
 
-Hand it the bytes of a `.pptx` file and it gives you back a structured, fully typed object that describes every slide: text, shapes, images, charts, tables, and more. Change anything in that object and write it back to a valid `.pptx`. You can also build new presentations from scratch with a simple chainable API, or turn a deck into Markdown.
+This is what you get one `npx` away: a working `.pptx` viewer/editor, wired up in a React, Vue, or Angular app, or just the framework-agnostic engine on its own.
 
-There is no UI here: this is the engine on its own. Use it directly when you need to process `.pptx` files without a screen, for example on a server, in a script, or in a build step. The same engine powers the [`pptx-react-viewer`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pptx-react-viewer), [`pptx-vue-viewer`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pptx-vue-viewer), and [`pptx-angular-viewer`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pptx-angular-viewer) UI components.

-## Install
+## Usage
 
 ```bash
-npm install pptx-viewer-core
-# required companions:
-npm install jszip fast-xml-parser
+npx @christophervr/pptx-viewer@latest
 ```
 
-> Two packages are always needed alongside it: **jszip** (a `.pptx` is a ZIP file, and this reads and writes that container) and **fast-xml-parser** (the slides inside are XML, and this reads and writes it). Password protection and digital signatures need a few extra packages (`node-forge`, `xml-crypto`, `@xmldom/xmldom`), but only if you actually use those features.

-## What it does
-
-| Capability  | Description                                                                                                                                      |
-| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| **Read**    | Open a `.pptx` and pull out slides, text, shapes, images, charts, tables, SmartArt, themes, comments, animations, transitions, and document info |
-| **Edit**    | Change the data in memory: add, remove, or reorder slides; insert elements; edit text; restyle; switch themes                                    |
-| **Save**    | Write the changed data back to a valid `.pptx`, leaving everything you did not touch untouched                                                   |
-| **Convert** | Turn a deck into Markdown, optionally pulling the images out alongside it                                                                        |
-| **Export**  | Save individual slides as their own standalone `.pptx` files                                                                                     |
-| **Protect** | Open and save password-protected files (AES-128/256 encryption)                                                                                  |
-
-Positions and sizes use PowerPoint's own internal unit, the EMU (English Metric Unit): 1 inch = 914,400 EMU, 1 point = 12,700 EMU, and 1 pixel = 9,525 EMU at 96 DPI. You rarely deal with the raw numbers: helpers (`inches`, `cm`, `mm`, `pt`) let you work in familiar units instead.
-
----
-
-## Quick start
-
-```typescript
-import { PptxHandler } from 'pptx-viewer-core';
-
-// 1. Open a .pptx file
-const handler = new PptxHandler();
-const buffer = await fetch('presentation.pptx').then((r) => r.arrayBuffer());
-const data = await handler.load(buffer);
+It first asks what you're building with an arrow-key checklist (`↑`/`↓` to move, `space` to toggle, `a` to select all, `enter` to confirm):
 
-console.log(
-	`${data.slides.length} slides, canvas ${data.canvasSize.width}×${data.canvasSize.height}`,
-);
-
-// 2. Change a slide
-data.slides[0].elements[0].text = 'Updated title';
-
-// 3. Save it back to .pptx bytes
-const outputBytes = await handler.save(data.slides); // => Uint8Array
-
-// 4. Or pull out just a few slides as separate files
-const exports = await handler.exportSlides(data.slides, { slideIndexes: [0, 2] }); // => Map<number, Uint8Array>
 ```
-
-`load()` gives you a `PptxData` object: a plain, fully typed description of the presentation. Read from it, change it, and pass its `slides` back to `save()` to get a valid `.pptx` file as bytes.
-
-### Build a presentation from scratch
-
-The chainable API lets you create a deck step by step, without touching any file format details:
-
-```typescript
-import { Presentation, ThemePresets, ChartBuilder } from 'pptx-viewer-core';
-
-const pptx = await Presentation.create({
-	title: 'Sales Report',
-	theme: ThemePresets.MODERN_BLUE,
-});
-
-// Each slide is added to the deck automatically: no manual .build() or .push() needed
-pptx
-	.addSlide('Title Slide')
-	.addText('Q4 Sales Report', { fontSize: 44, bold: true, x: 100, y: 200, width: 800, height: 80 });
-
-pptx
-	.addSlide('Blank')
-	.addText('Revenue by Region', { fontSize: 28, x: 50, y: 30, width: 600, height: 50 })
-	.addBuilderElement(
-		ChartBuilder.create('bar')
-			.categories(['North', 'South', 'East', 'West'])
-			.addSeries('2026', [210, 150, 180, 120], '#2563EB')
-			.title('Revenue ($M)')
-			.bounds(50, 100, 860, 420),
-	);
-
-pptx.replaceText('2026', 'FY2026'); // find/replace, merge, and templates all chain the same way
-
-const bytes = await pptx.save();
-```
-
-The builder API comes in three levels, from highest to lowest:
-
-1. **`Presentation`**: the whole deck at once (slides, text operations, sections, templates, merging, saving).
-2. **Element builders**: one per element type, for fine-grained control: `TextBuilder`, `ShapeBuilder`, `ChartBuilder`, `TableBuilder`, `ImageBuilder`, `ConnectorBuilder`, `MediaBuilder`, `GroupBuilder`.
-3. **`PptxXmlBuilder`**: raw XML, for the rare cases the higher levels do not cover.
-
-It also ships unit helpers (`inches`, `cm`, `mm`, `pt`), common slide sizes (`SlideSizes`), and 8 ready-made themes (`ThemePresets`). The [full docs](https://christophervr.github.io/pptx-viewer/) cover every builder.
-
-### Turn a deck into Markdown
-
-```typescript
-import { PptxMarkdownConverter } from 'pptx-viewer-core';
-
-const converter = new PptxMarkdownConverter({ includeMetadata: true, imageHandling: 'extract' });
-const result = await converter.convert(
-	buffer,
-	{ outputPath: 'output.md', mediaFolderName: 'media' },
-	fileSystemAdapter,
-);
-// => the Markdown text, plus stats on any images that were pulled out
+What are you building with pptx-viewer? (you can pick more than one)
+(↑/↓ move, space toggle, a select all, enter confirm)
+
+❯ ◉ React - pptx-react-viewer, a viewer/editor component for a React 19 app
+  ◯ Vue - pptx-vue-viewer, a viewer/editor component for a Vue 3.5+ app
+  ◯ Angular - pptx-angular-viewer, a viewer/editor component for an Angular 22+ app
+  ◯ Core engine only - pptx-viewer-core, the framework-agnostic SDK, no UI
+  ◯ MCP server - pptx-viewer-mcp, PowerPoint editing tools for AI agents
 ```
 
-To write files to disk, pass a `FileSystemAdapter` (an object with `writeFile`, `writeBinaryFile`, and `createFolder` methods); this keeps the converter free of any assumptions about where it runs. By default it keeps each element where it sat on the slide (absolutely positioned HTML); set `semanticMode: true` to get clean headings, paragraphs, and lists instead.

-
-## `PptxHandler` API
+The whole flow is colour-highlighted (current row, confirmations, warnings, errors) and falls back to a plain numbered prompt in shells without raw keyboard input (piped stdin, some CI runners) or when `NO_COLOR`/a non-TTY output disables colour.
 
-`PptxHandler` is the one class you use to open, change, and save files. Its main methods:
+Picking more than one is fine, for example React plus the MCP server to get both a viewer and AI-agent tooling in the same repo. `pptx-viewer-mcp` never gets installed as a dependency: since it's meant to be launched by an MCP client via `npx`, this just prints the client config to paste in.

+### Compatibility check
 
-The `PptxData` you get from `load()` exposes `slides`, `canvasSize`, `theme`, `slideMasters`, `slideLayouts`, `sections`, `coreProperties`, `embeddedFonts`, and more. See the [full docs](https://christophervr.github.io/pptx-viewer/) for the complete `PptxHandler`, chart/SmartArt, and theme APIs.
+If you picked React, Vue, or Angular and a `package.json` already exists in the current directory, the CLI looks at what's actually installed (or declared) for `react`, `vue`, or `@angular/core` and compares it against the major version each viewer package requires. If they don't match (say, `react@18` in a project but `pptx-react-viewer` needs `react@^19`), it warns you and asks whether to continue before touching anything.

+When exactly one UI framework is selected, you're asked how to set it up:
 
-## How it works
+- **Install here** adds the package(s) to the project in the current directory (a `package.json` must already exist; run `npm init -y` first if not).
+- **Scaffold a new project** bootstraps a brand-new starter app in its own folder, using the framework's own official scaffolding tool ([`create-vite`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-vite) for React/Vue, [`@angular/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/cli) for Angular), then wires in a working `PowerPointViewer` example (same pattern as the [live demos](https://christophervr.github.io/pptx-viewer/demo/): open an existing `.pptx`, or click "New Presentation" to build a blank deck with `PptxHandler.createBlank` and start editing right away) and installs the viewer package plus `pptx-viewer-core` on top.
 
-You only ever work with one class, `PptxHandler`, and one data object, `PptxData`. The engine takes care of the rest: when you call `load()` it unzips the file, reads the XML, resolves the theme, masters, and layouts, and hands you a clean object. `save()` runs those same steps in reverse.
+Scaffolding is only offered for a single framework at a time; if you select more than one UI framework together, the CLI installs into the current project instead.
 
-A few things worth knowing as you use it:
+Either way, it detects your package manager (`bun`, `pnpm`, `yarn`, or `npm`, from whichever lockfile is in the current directory) and prints a short quick-start snippet once it's done.
 
-- **Every element has a `type` field** (`text`, `shape`, `image`, `chart`, `table`, and so on). Check it before reading element-specific properties, for example `if (element.type === 'image')`. TypeScript then knows exactly which fields exist.
-- **Shapes are drawn from a built-in catalogue** of 187+ PowerPoint shapes, so curves, arrows, and callouts come out with the right outlines.
-- **Colours follow PowerPoint's theme rules**, so a colour defined as "accent 1, but 20% lighter" resolves to the correct final value for the active theme.
+### Non-interactive use
 
-Under the hood the engine is split into many small, focused modules. If you want the full load and save pipeline, the complete type system, and a module-by-module map, see the [full documentation](https://christophervr.github.io/pptx-viewer/).
+```bash
+npx @christophervr/pptx-viewer --target react,mcp --yes            # skip both prompts
+npx @christophervr/pptx-viewer --target mcp                        # just print the MCP client config
+npx @christophervr/pptx-viewer --target react --scaffold --dir my-app --yes
+npx @christophervr/pptx-viewer --pm pnpm                           # force a package manager instead of auto-detecting
+```

+| `--target <ids>` | Comma-separated: `react`, `vue`, `angular`, `core`, `mcp`. Skips the picker.                               |
+| `--scaffold`     | Bootstrap a new project instead of installing here. Needs exactly one of `react`/`vue`/`angular` selected. |
+| `--dir <name>`   | Project directory name for `--scaffold` (default: `pptx-<target>-app`).                                    |
+| `--pm <manager>` | `bun`, `pnpm`, `yarn`, or `npm`. Skips auto-detection.                                                     |
+| `--yes`, `-y`    | Skip confirmation prompts (including the compatibility warning).                                           |
+| `--help`, `-h`   | Print usage.                                                                                               |
 
-- **OLE objects** (embedded Word docs, spreadsheets, and similar) cannot be edited in place: you get their preview image and can extract/download the embedded payload, but not edit its contents.
-- **SmartArt** is broken into editable shapes. It uses PowerPoint's own pre-computed shape geometry when present; after structural edits (add/remove/reorder/promote/demote nodes) a live reflow engine rebuilds the shapes, with an algorithmic fallback covering 14 layout families for diagrams PowerPoint never rendered.
-- **Chart editing** covers data, categories, and chart type, plus legend, axes (scale, format, titles, gridlines, log/display units), data labels, trendlines, error bars, and per-series/per-point markers and fills. A handful of rarely-used chart properties remain read-only for display.
-- **Strict-format files** (ISO/IEC 29500 Strict) are converted to the more common Transitional form when opened and converted back when saved.

+## Why this exists
 
-[Apache-2.0](LICENSE). Please keep the [`NOTICE`](NOTICE) file with redistributions.
+Each pptx-viewer package documents its own install command, but the exact list of companion packages differs per binding (peer dependencies like `react`/`vue`, shared ones like `jszip`/`fast-xml-parser`, optional ones like `three`). This CLI is that install line, made interactive, so you don't have to go look it up, plus a scaffold mode for starting from nothing.
