+ ### Choosing the Right Installation Method
104
+
105
+ - **Windows users**: Use the [MSI Installer](#windows-msi-installer) for the best experience. It handles PATH configuration automatically.
106
+ - **npm/bun users**: Use the `-g` (global) flag to install system-wide. This makes `orca` available in any directory.
107
+ - **Homebrew/winget users**: These package managers handle global installation automatically.

+ ### NPM Installation Tips
110
+
111
+ > [!IMPORTANT]
112
+ > **If you've installed via MSI or another method**, installing via npm may cause conflicts. Choose one installation method and stick with it.
113
+
114
+ **Prevent automatic updates:**
115
+
116
+ By default, npm may update packages automatically depending on your configuration. To lock to a specific version:
117
+
118
+ ```bash
119
+ # Install a specific version
120
+ npm install -g @vanthaita/orca@0.1.27
121
+
122
+ # Check your installed version
123
+ orca --version
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ **Troubleshooting npm installation:**
127
+
128
+ ```bash
129
+ # If the command is not found after installation:
130
+ which orca # macOS/Linux
131
+ where orca # Windows
132
+
133
+ # Reinstall if needed:
134
+ npm uninstall -g @vanthaita/orca
135
+ npm install -g @vanthaita/orca
136
+ ```
137
+
138
+ ### MSI and NPM Conflicts
139
+
140
+ > [!WARNING]
141
+ > If you installed Orca using the **Windows MSI installer**, do not install it again via npm. The MSI installer places the binary in your system PATH, and npm cannot update or manage it.
142
+
143
+ **If you need to switch from MSI to npm:**
144
+
145
+ 1. Uninstall Orca via Windows Settings → Apps → Orca
146
+ 2. Then install via npm: `npm install -g @vanthaita/orca`
147
+
148
+ **To update an MSI installation:**
149
+
150
+ Download and run the latest MSI installer from [Releases](https://github.com/vanthaita/orca-releases/releases/latest).
