# Install

In order to install BullMQ Pro you need to use a NPM token from [taskforce.sh](https://taskforce.sh).

With the token at hand just update or create a `.npmrc` file in your app repository with the following contents:

```
@taskforcesh:registry=https://npm.taskforce.sh/
//npm.taskforce.sh/:_authToken=${NPM_TASKFORCESH_TOKEN}
always-auth=true
```

where `NPM_TASKFORCESH_TOKEN` is an environment variable pointing to your token.

Then just install the `@taskforcesh/bullmq-pro` package as you would install any other package, with `npm`, `yarn` or `pnpm`:

```
yarn add @taskforcesh/bullmq-pro
```

In order to use BullMQ Pro just import the *Pro* versions of the classes. These classes are subclasses of the open source BullMQ library with new functionality:

```typescript
import { QueuePro, WorkerPro } from '@taskforcesh/bullmq-pro';

const queue = new QueuePro('myQueue');

const worker = new WorkerPro('myQueue', async job => {
  // Process job
});
```

### Using Docker

If you use docker you must make sure that you also add the `.npmrc` file above in your `Dockerfile`:

```docker
WORKDIR /app

ADD .npmrc /app/.npmrc
```
