How to start ABP Suite?

ABP Studio has a shortcut for running ABP Suite to allow using it without starting it externally and using it on a browser. Thanks to that, you can use both ABP Studio and ABP Suite as a united platform.

You can check the ABP Studio: Working with ABP Suite documentation for more info.

Alternatively, to start the ABP Suite, you can write the following command to the command line terminal and execute it:

abp suite

If you run the ABP Suite with ABP CLI, then it will open in your default browser. Do not close the command line window until you finish your work, otherwise the Suite will not function. When you finish your work, you can return to the command line and press CTRL+C to close the Suite.

Remember that, first access to the Suite requires to have an active internet connection, so make sure you are connected to the internet.
