Install the CLI — Avora CLI

Link the local CLI package so the avora command is available from any terminal on your machine.

Task

Install the current repository version of Avora CLI and confirm that its help output opens correctly.

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npm are installed.
• You have a local copy of the Avora repository.
• Your terminal can write to npm's global link location.

Find This in Your Terminal

Open a terminal and move into the repository's avora-cli folder.

cd /path/to/Avora-app/avora-cli

Steps

1. Install the package dependencies.

   npm install
   

2. Create the global development link.

   npm link
   

3. Confirm that the command is available.

   avora --help
   

4. Open the interactive menu from a terminal that supports keyboard input.

   avora
   

Expected Result

avora --help prints the command list, options, and examples. Running avora in an interactive terminal opens the Avora command palette.

Next Step

Continue with Interactive Menu, then Sign In.

Troubleshooting

• If avora is not found, run npm link again from the avora-cli folder and make sure npm's global binary directory is on your PATH.
• If npm reports a permissions error, use a user-owned npm prefix rather than running the command with elevated privileges.
• If the menu does not open, run avora --help. Non-interactive terminals intentionally show help instead of the menu.
