 ## Installation
 
-No install needed; use via `npx`:
+Pick whichever fits your workflow:
 
+**As a devDependency (recommended for build scripts):**
 ```bash
-npx @reliableapp/frontend-cli sourcemaps upload [options]
+npm install --save-dev @reliableapp/frontend-cli
 ```
+The `reliableapp-frontend` binary then resolves automatically inside any npm script — fastest option for repeat builds.
 
-Or install globally:
+**Via `npx` (zero install):**
+```bash
+npx --yes @reliableapp/frontend-cli sourcemaps upload [options]
+```
+Slower on first run (downloads the package) but zero setup. Good for one-off CI YAML steps.
 
+**Globally:**
 ```bash
 npm i -g @reliableapp/frontend-cli
