    The ServiceNow SDK is available as an npm package from the public npm registry. The ServiceNow SDK supports integrating with ServiceNow instances beginning with the Washington DC release.

    In the following procedure, you install the ServiceNow SDK within a new application using npx rather than globally. To install the ServiceNow SDK globally, use the npm install --global @servicenow/sdk command.

    주:
    If you use npx to install the ServiceNow SDK in application rather than globally, you must use npx @servicenow/sdk [command] rather than now-sdk [command] with the ServiceNow SDK CLI.
