This guide will help you get AgileBuilder Local Edition installed and generate your first project in 5 minutes. The local edition is completely free and doesn't require an account.

Step 1: Install AgileBuilder

If you haven't installed it yet, install the AgileBuilder CLI first:

npm install -g agilebuilder

Verify the installation:

agilebuilder --version

Step 2: Launch the Local Interface

Start the local management interface:

agilebuilder ui

The browser will automatically open http://localhost:3456, where you'll see AgileBuilder's local management interface.

AgileBuilder Local Interface

The local UI works offline. All data (templates, project configurations) is stored on your computer.

Step 3: Add a Template

Add your first project template through the local interface:

Import from a Git Repository

agilebuilder template add https://github.com/your-org/your-template.git

Create from an Existing Project

If you have an existing project on your machine, you can convert it to a template:

agilebuilder template create ./my-existing-project --name my-template

Use Built-in Templates

AgileBuilder includes built-in templates for quick experimentation.

Step 4: Generate a Project

Select a template, fill in the variables, and generate a new project with one command:

agilebuilder generate <template-name> <project-name>

For example:

agilebuilder generate react-starter my-new-app

With variables:

agilebuilder generate react-starter my-new-app \
  --var projectName=my-new-app \
  --var useTypeScript=true
