Main commands

This page covers the top three functionalities of DappnodeSDK: init, build, and publish. Each command plays a crucial role in the development and deployment process of dappnode packages (DNPs).

init​

The init command allows you to initialize a new DAppNodePackage (DNP) repository. This is the first step when creating a new DNP. To use the init command, run the following:

npx @dappnode/dappnodesdk init

The following are all the possible init options:

      --dir, --directory   Change the base directory    [string] [default: "./"]
      --compose_file_name  Compose file for docker-compose
                                        [string] [default: "docker-compose.yml"]
      --silent             Silence output to terminal                  [boolean]
      --verbose, --debug   Show more output to terminal                [boolean]
  -y, --yes                Answer yes or the default option to all initializatio
                           n questions                                 [boolean]

  -v, --version            Show version number                         [boolean]

build​

The build command is used to build a new version of a DNP. It generates the IPFS hash for the package. To use the build command, run the following:

npx @dappnode/dappnodesdk build

The following are all the possible build options:

      --dir, --directory   Change the base directory    [string] [default: "./"]
      --compose_file_name  Compose file for docker-compose
