Getting Started

This guide walks you through setting up your first project on LykCloud.

Prerequisites

• A LykCloud account (sign up at lykcloud.int.yt)
• Node.js 18+ and npm/pnpm installed
• A terminal with SSH access

Step 1: Install the CLI

npm install -g @lykcloud/cli

Verify the installation:

lykcloud --version
# Expected output: LykCloud CLI v2.x.x

Step 2: Authenticate

lykcloud auth login

This opens a browser window where you can authenticate with your LykCloud credentials. Once complete, your session is stored locally.

Step 3: Initialize a Project

lykcloud init my-first-project
cd my-first-project

This scaffolds a minimal project with a lykcloud.config.ts file.

Step 4: Deploy

lykcloud deploy --env production

Your project is now live. Run lykcloud logs to stream real-time logs.
