Quick start

Get your first bot running in under 5 minutes

Install the CLI globally using your preferred package manager: ```bash npm theme={null} npm install -g @botpress/cli ``` ```bash yarn theme={null} yarn global add @botpress/cli ``` ```bash pnpm theme={null} pnpm install -g @botpress/cli ``` Create a new bot from a template: ```bash theme={null} bp init ``` The CLI will prompt you to choose between creating a bot, integration, or plugin. Select **bot** to get started. Start the development server to test your bot locally: ```bash theme={null} bp dev ``` Your bot is now running locally with hot-reload enabled. Any changes you make to the code will automatically update. When you're ready to deploy, authenticate and push your bot to the cloud: ```bash theme={null} bp login bp deploy ``` You'll need a free Botpress Cloud account. Sign up at [app.botpress.cloud](https://app.botpress.cloud) if you haven't already.
