Cross-browser testing with Cypress without installation of browsers

As I am learning Cypress, I am trying to run a simple test in Firefox and Chrome. Unfortunately, I don‘t know how to set it up so that I can run it from the command line, instead of installing the browsers.

Can someone help me please?

No matter if you use the visual Cypress Test Runner (cypress open) or run your tests headless via the Command Line (cypress run), the desired browser must be installed. The only exception is the Electron browser that comes with Cypress. The Electron browser is a version of Chromium and does not need to be installed separately.
