Getting Started

Quick Start

Getting started with the Motion Core CLI.

Installation

Global Installation

You can install the CLI globally to use it in any project:

Once installed globally, you can invoke the CLI directly using the motion-core command:

motion-core --help
motion-core --help

Usage without installation

You can also run the CLI directly using npx, bunx, or pnpm dlx without installation:

npx @motion-core/cli init

Configuration

The motion-core.json file allows you to customize where components and utilities are installed.
