Setup Your Development Environment

First things first! Let's setup your development environment before creating the project.

Pre-Requirements

The following tools should be installed on your development machine:

• An IDE (e.g. Visual Studio) that supports .NET 7.0+ development.

• Node v16 or v18

• Yarn v1.20+ (not v2) ¹ or npm v6+ (already installed with Node)

¹ Yarn v2 works differently and is not supported. ^↩

Install the ABP CLI

ABP CLI is a command line interface that is used to automate some common tasks for ABP based solutions. First, you need to install the ABP CLI using the following command:

dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Cli

If you've already installed, you can update it using the following command:

dotnet tool update -g Volo.Abp.Cli
