## Installing Embark 3.1.7
|
|||
|
|
If you already have Embark installed, please run:
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
embark version
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Make sure the version is `3.1.7`. If it’s not, re-install Embark by running:
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
npm install -g embark
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
> Do not use sudo when installing Embark
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Re-run `embark version` to ensure we have `3.1.7`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you have not installed Embark at all, Embark can be installed by running
|
|||
|
|
`npm install -g embark` (without sudo)
|
