I just crawled out from under a rock, what do I install in brew for CLI wrangler (9/2025)?
Can I even still run brew wrangler CLI, or is it all npm now?

Not meant to be a silly question, but it seems like there was some weird versioning going on in brew and it feels like a goose chase to try to figure out if anything is still current.
It is all npm ( or other package manager ) starting with v2 of wrangler, (current version is v4).
That's what I was thinking, but it looks like brew install cloudflare-wrangler now gets 4.36.0 confusingly. At some point in the past, it looks like we had cloudflare-wrangler2, so I was assuming CLI deprecated and was gone (sadly) but now this looks up to date? Doesn't look like any of this in docs unless I'm just not finding it.

I mean that looks right just downloading it from npm anyway. Don't know who is responsible for bottle though
