Vatom CLI

Before installing the @vatom/cli, check to see if you already have the necessary system requirements by running which node and which npm

Prerequisites

1. Sign Up: To begin development, you must first create a Vatom Account by registering at studio.vatom.com

2. Get your Business ID: When creating a Vatom account, you are creating a business account. Every business has its associated business ID. This business ID will allow you to use the CLI tool.

   To find your business ID go to: Studio > Profile Icon (top right corner) > Settings > Profile. Copy this ID down for ease of use.

Note: When using the CLI to create plugins on the Vatom Market, there are additional prerequisites that must be met. Please see the Plugin Documentation for more information.

Installing the Vatom CLI

1. Ensure that you have Node installed:

   • Use Node Version Manager (recommended)
   • or follow instructions at nodejs.org

2. Install the CLI by running npm install --global @vatom/cli@latest

   Note: If you don't want to install it globally you can run it with NPX instead, by prepending npx -p @vatom/cli to every vatom command you run.

   For example: vatom auth becomes npx -p @vatom/cli vatom auth

3. Test it by running vatom --version.

Authentication

Once everything is installed, authorize your Vatom Account by running the command vatom auth.

This will open a tab in your browser that will let you sign in. If the sign-in process is successful, you will see the success message as seen below.

✔ You have successfully authenticated the Vatom CLI to your Vatom Studio account.
