# nuxt devtools

> The devtools command allows you to enable or disable Nuxt DevTools on a per-project basis.

<!--devtools-cmd-->

```bash [Terminal]
npx nuxt devtools <COMMAND> [ROOTDIR] [--cwd=<directory>]
```

<!--/devtools-cmd-->

Running `nuxt devtools enable` will install the Nuxt DevTools globally, and also enable it within the particular project you are using. It is saved as a preference in your user-level `.nuxtrc`. If you want to remove devtools support for a particular project, you can run `nuxt devtools disable`.
