Update docs to show how Serverless can be installed and used locally

See original GitHub issue

This is a Feature Proposal

Description

Instead of globally installing Serverless, could we only globally install a CLI shim that checks the current directory’s node_modules for Serverless? This way we can add a devDependency directly to our package.json and lock it from there rather than having to do it in serverless.yml.

There should be little-to-no changes from a developer’s perspective.

Nice discussion! I updated the title and added some labels.

I agree that it would be worth to have this somewhere in the docs.

I was aware of that feature and it was exactly that which got me wondering why I couldn’t just specify it in package.json instead. The problem with specifying the frameworkVersion is you’d still need to up/downgrade your global installed version to deploy a project.

Leave dependency/version management to the tools that do it best IMO.
