Installing packages

Every GRID product ships a free evaluation package on npm, with no signup and no token required. Pick the package for what you’re building and run the install command below. (The full commercial packages are private and need a token, see below.)

Engine

A headless spreadsheet engine, compatible with Excel and Google Sheets.

npm install @grid-is/spreadsheet-engine

Viewer

Display spreadsheets inside your product, no backend required.

npm install @grid-is/spreadsheet-viewer

Editor

A scoped, familiar spreadsheet editing experience for your users.

npm install @grid-is/spreadsheet-editor

Building with an AI agent?

Hand GRID’s spreadsheet skills to your coding agent in one line, then ask it to build:

npx -y skills add GRID-is/skills -g --all

Licensing

The evaluation license is free and fully featured for development, evaluation, personal projects, and internal prototypes. Shipping a commercial product, or running GRID in any revenue-generating workflow, requires a commercial license.

Commercial packages

Commercial licenses ship the full packages (@grid-is/apiary, @grid-is/mondrian-react, and @grid-is/editor), which are private on npm. To install them you need an npm auth token. Create an .npmrc file in your repository root (or in another supported location) and add:

.npmrc

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}
@grid-is:registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Note

This assumes you already have an environment variable, NPM_TOKEN, that gives you access to the commercial packages on npmjs.com. If you don’t have a token yet, talk to us about a commercial license.
