# add
Install a plugin and initialize it.
## Usage
```shell
nx add <packageSpecifier>
```
Install `nx` globally to invoke the command directly using `nx`, or use `npx nx`, `yarn nx`, or `pnpm nx`.
### Examples
Install the `@nx/react` package matching the installed version of the `nx` package and run its `@nx/react:init` generator:
```shell
nx add @nx/react
```
Install the latest version of the `non-core-nx-plugin` package and run its `non-core-nx-plugin:init` generator if available:
```shell
nx add non-core-nx-plugin
```
Install version `17.0.0` of the `@nx/react` package and run its `@nx/react:init` generator:
```shell
nx add @nx/react@17.0.0
```
