Getting Started

Your guide to setting up and running your first Elen application - step by step

Begin Setup

1. Setting up your environment

Ensure you have the latest version of Node.js installed. We recommend using nvm for managing versions:

              nvm install 18.14.0
            

Next, install required tools:

npm 9.5.1

JavaScript package manager

Yarn 2.5

Fast dependency resolver

Docker 20.1

Container management

2. Installing Elen CLI

Install the Elen command-line interface globally to manage your projects

              npm install -g @elen/cli
            
Success

Elen CLI installed successfully. Verified version 3.2.1

Verify installation:

              elen --version
            

3. Creating your first project

Create a new project

                elen create my-project
              

This will scaffold a new Elen project with:

  • TypeScript configured
  • ESLint & Prettier
  • Tailwind CSS setup
