Master Guides
Installation
Get the CLI on your machine in one command.
Master is distributed as a global npm package. It requires Node.js 20 or newer.
Install the CLI globally#
terminal
$ npm install -g master
Verify it:
terminal
$ master --version # 2.0.1$ master info # banner + environment details
Requirements#
- Node.js ≥ 20 — the framework and generated apps are pure ESM.
- npm — bundled with Node; used for workspaces.
- A database — SQLite needs nothing; MySQL/PostgreSQL need a running server.
No global install?
You can always run the latest CLI without installing it:
npx master@latest new my-app.Updating#
terminal
$ npm update -g master
