### `npx squiggle-cli-experimental watch`
Watches `.squiggleU` files in the current directory (and subdirectories) and rebuilds them when they are saved. Note that this will _not_ rebuild files when their dependencies are changed, just when they are changed directly.
## Further instructions
The above requires having node, npm and npx. To install the first two, see [here](https://nodejs.org/en/), to install npx, run:
```
npm install -g npx
```
Alternatively, you can run the following without the need for npx:
```
npm install squiggle-cli-experimental
node node_modules/squiggle-cli-experimental/index.js compile
```
or you can add a script to your `package.json`, like:
```
...
scripts: {
"compile": "squiggle-cli-experimental compile"
}
...
```
This can be run with `npm run compile`. `npm` knows how to reach into the node_modules directly, so it's not necessary to specify that.
