Ignite CLI is the all-in-one platform to build, launch, and maintain any crypto application on a sovereign and secured blockchain. It is a developer-friendly interface to the Cosmos SDK, the world's most widely-used blockchain application framework. Ignite CLI generates boilerplate code for you, so you can focus on writing business logic.
You can install Ignite using HomeBrew on macOS and GNU/Linux:
brew install igniteOr using Snap on GNU/Linux:
snap install ignite --classicOr manually using the following command:
curl https://get.ignite.com/cli! | bashTroubleshoot
If Ignite doesn't automatically move to your /usr/local/bin directory, use this command to do so:
sudo mv ignite /usr/local/binIf you encounter an error, you might need to create the /usr/local/bin directory and set the necessary permissions as follows:
mkdir /usr/local/bin
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/binFor more options on installing and using Ignite, please see the following:
Open Ignite CLI in your web browser (or open nightly version), or install the latest release.
To create and start a blockchain:
ignite scaffold chain mars
cd mars
ignite chain serveTo learn how to use Ignite CLI, check out the Ignite CLI docs. To learn more about how to build blockchain apps with Ignite CLI, see the Ignite CLI Developer Tutorials.
To install Ignite CLI locally on GNU, Linux, or macOS, see Install Ignite CLI.
To learn more about building a JavaScript frontend for your Cosmos SDK blockchain, see ignite/web.
For questions and support, join the official Ignite Discord server. The issue list in this repo is exclusively for bug reports and feature requests.
Blockchains created with Ignite CLI use the Cosmos SDK framework. To ensure the best possible experience, use the version of Ignite CLI that corresponds to the version of Cosmos SDK that your blockchain is built with. Unless noted otherwise, a row refers to a minor version and all associated patch versions.

Ignite Apps aims to extend the functionality of Ignite CLI, offering both official and community-contributed integrations. These integrations are designed to streamline development processes and offer valuable insights for blockchain app developers.
ignite app install -g github.com/ignite/apps/[app-name]The ignite app list command allows to list the plugins and their status, and to
update a plugin if you need to get the latest version.
Scaffold your Ignite app with one simple command:
ignite scaffold app path/to/your/appAfterwards, install using:
ignite app install -g path/to/your/appFor more information, refer to Creating Ignite Apps.
