Installation¶
To get started with Taubyte development, you'll need to install the Dream CLI tool. Dream allows you to spin up your own Taubyte cloud right on your local machine - think of it as your personal playground for building and testing cloud apps.
Prerequisites¶
All you need is npm installed on your machine. We use npm since it works great across all platforms - Windows, Mac, or Linux.
Install Dream CLI¶
Install the Taubyte Dream CLI globally:
The -g flag installs it globally so you can use the dream command from anywhere on your system.
Verify Installation¶
You can verify the installation by checking the version:
What is Dream?¶
Dream (github.com/taubyte/dream) is a tool that lets you:
- Spin up a complete Taubyte cloud locally
- Test functions, websites, and databases
- Experiment with the platform before production deployment
- Debug and develop in an isolated environment
Next Steps¶
Now that Dream is installed, continue to Local Cloud to start your development environment.
