Installation

This guide will help you install DevHub CLI on your system. The installation process is straightforward and only requires a few prerequisites.

Prerequisites

Before installing DevHub CLI, make sure you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js (version 14.0.0 or higher)

• npm (usually comes with Node.js)

• Visual Studio Code (recommended for the best experience)

You can verify your Node.js and npm installation by running:

node --version
npm --version

Installing DevHub CLI

You can install DevHub CLI globally using npm:

npm install -g dev-hub-cli

To verify the installation, run:

devhub --version

This should display the current version of DevHub CLI.

Version Checking

DevHub CLI now includes an automatic version checker that will:

• Check for updates when you run any command

• Notify you if a new version is available

• Show the current and latest version numbers

• Provide the update command if needed

When you run devhub create, you'll see one of these messages:

• ✓ CLI is up to date (version X.X.X)

• Or an update notification if a new version is available

Updating DevHub CLI

If the version checker notifies you of an update, you can update using:

npm install -g dev-hub-cli@latest

# Note: If this does not work, uninstall and then reinstall DevHub

Uninstalling

If you need to uninstall DevHub CLI:
