Forge CLI

Command line interface (CLI) to help create, manage, and deploy Forge apps.

See developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/ for documentation and tutorials explaining Forge.

Requirements

You need the following:

• Node.js: The Forge CLI requires an LTS version of Node JS installed. We recommend that you install Node JS via Node version manager.

Important: We recommend running Node under your user. If you're running node under root privilege instead, you'll need to update the Node configuration to allow global module installs using binaries by running:

npm config set unsafe-perm true

To check your Node version, run the following in the terminal:

node --version

See Getting started for instructions to get set up.

Installation

Install the CLI globally by running:

npm install -g @forge/cli
