It is or (which is specific to each project folder) that will run all the CLI commands. Running without the global should you want independence of the globally installed package, you have the possibility to directly run the Quasar CLI commands.
The second package is the heart of it (runs the important commands - dev, build, inspect, info, describe etc) and it gets installed locally into every Quasar project folder. Quasar CLI ( works in tandem with either or The first one is optional (but strongly recommended) and allows you to run Quasar CLI commands directly and some other useful commands like quasar upgrade (upgrade Quasar packages seamlessly) or quasar serve (serve your distributable with an ad-hoc webserver). This is also true in Docker for Windows based development environments. Projects will build around 3X slower and HMR (Hot Module Reload) will not work without a hack if the project files are on the Windows mount instead of the local linux file system. When using WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) Microsoft recommends keeping files in the linux file system to maximize performance.
