Docs / Getting started / Installation

Installation

There is nothing to install. The CLI runs through npx and writes into a directory you name.

Requirements

Node.js 18 or newer.
npx, which ships with npm.
Git, if you want the generated project initialised as a repository.

Run it

npx ai-project-bootstrap                # interactive
npx ai-project-bootstrap my-app --yes    # accept every default
npx ai-project-bootstrap --dry-run       # print the file list, write nothing

Where the project lands

The project name doubles as its location. Answer my-app and it lands in ./my-app. Answer ./apps/my-app and that folder is created — parents and all — with the project named my-app inside it. --out overrides the location without changing the name.

Check the machine first

doctor verifies Node, Git and npm — plus Xcode, Android SDK, Watchman, Java or Docker on request — before you spend a wizard run finding out the hard way.

Verify the install

npx ai-project-bootstrap --list-modules   # every available technology
npx ai-project-bootstrap doctor           # check this machine
