# Install and configure

We have covered how to install RSpec in detail during the prep course, so we will keep this short.

There are two ways of installing RSpec, You either run `gem install rspec` in your terminal and then `rspec --init` in your terminal in order for it to create all config file `.rspec` and `spec_helper.rb`

The second way is to add the rspec gem to your Gemfile, run `bundle` in your terminal and `rspec --init` once rspec, is installed.

In order to configure RSpec you can run `rspec --help` in the terminal and it will provide you wit a lot of options that you can use in the `.rspec` file to configure your output from when the test suites run.
