How to start gemini cli in new terminal once after the installation is completed

[Punvesh]

I have Installed gemini-cli using the "npx" command on my windows machine. After the installation if i have start the gemini cli how to start

The command npx https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli results in a temporary installation. You will have to run the command again if you open a new terminal window, effectively reinstalling Gemini cli. This command will also start Gemini Cli. Instead npm install -g @google/gemini-cli results in a permanent installation. So you need to run it only once. Then to turn it on in a new terminal window you just type gemini and press enter.

The first installation will install the latest version every time. The second installation instead will not automatically update the Gemini cli version, and you will have to manually update it by running the command npm upgrade -g @google/gemini-cli whenever you feel like.

To close Gemini cli either close the terminal window, or type /quit and press enter.

Thank you for explanation

Not familiar with nodejs, I think such important info as "npx results in a temporary installation" should be mentioned and highlighted in the project readme...
