Installation

The 86d CLI lets you scaffold modules and templates, manage your dev server, run code generation, diagnose issues, and configure your store from the terminal.

The 86d CLI is the primary tool for working with your store locally. You use it to start the development server, configure a new store, create and manage modules and templates, run code generation, and diagnose project issues.

Installation

Install the CLI globally with npm:

npm install -g 86d

Inside the 86d monorepo you can run the CLI without a global install:

bun run 86d <command>

What the CLI does

The CLI covers six main areas:

• Project setup: configure a new store, install dependencies, run migrations, and seed data with a single command.
• Development server: start the Next.js storefront on your local machine with database connectivity checks.
• Module management: scaffold custom modules, install community modules from the registry / GitHub / npm, enable or disable modules, and check for updates.
• Template management: create new themes, install third-party templates, and switch the active template.
• Code generation: regenerate module imports, the API router, the registry, and component documentation after you edit config.json.
• Diagnostics: run 86d doctor for a full health check with fix suggestions.

Typical development workflow

This sequence covers the common setup-and-develop loop:

# 1. Configure the store: sets up .env, installs deps, runs migrations, seeds demo data
86d init

# 2. Check that everything is healthy before you start
86d doctor

# 3. Start the development server
86d dev

# 4. Scaffold a new module when you need custom functionality
86d module create loyalty-points

# 5. Enable it in your active template
86d module enable loyalty-points

# 6. Regenerate imports and the API router so the module is wired in
86d generate

Adding a community module

To install a published community or first-party module from the registry:

86d module add reviews
86d module add @86d-app/reviews
86d module add github:owner/repo/modules/loyalty
86d module add npm:@acme/commerce-module

The CLI fetches the module, installs its dependencies, enables it in the active template, and prompts you to run 86d generate. See Add a module for the full workflow.
