Installation

Requirements

• Node.js 20+ (matches the published package engines)
• npm (or another client that can run npx)

Install options

Pick one

Use npx for a one-off run, global install for the short bare command, or clone if you are contributing to the generator itself.

npx

npx backend-ai-starter-recipes --help

Global bare

npm install -g backend-ai-starter-recipes
bare --help

Clone / dev

git clone https://github.com/JeelVankhede/backend-ai-starter-recipes.git
cd backend-ai-starter-recipes
npm ci
npm run build
node dist/cli.js --help

Verify

You should see CLI help with options such as --output and --preset:

npx backend-ai-starter-recipes --help
# or, after global install:
bare --help

Troubleshooting

• command not found: bare — Install globally or use npx backend-ai-starter-recipes instead.
• Node version errors — Run node -v; upgrade to 20+ if needed.
• Permission errors on global install — Use a Node version manager or configure npm’s prefix; prefer npx if unsure.
