To start using ds, you must have node.js and npm installed. You can use npx to run the latest version without needing to install it globally on your system. This approach ensures you're always using the most up-to-date version of the tool.

npx @deepstructure/cli@latest <command>

We recommend installing ds locally in your DeepStructure projects, which is done for you automatically when you use create-deepstructure-app.

npm install --save-dev @deepstructure/cli

Doing so will mean that your npm scripts can use the ds command directly from node_modules/:

"scripts": {
    "deploy": "ds deploy"
    "build": "ds build"
}

Example Usage

The following shows a typical way to use the ds command to work with a DeepStructure app, including authentication, creating an application, and deploying.
