# Shopify CLI





![badge](https://github.com/Shopify/cli/actions/workflows/shopify-cli.yml/badge.svg)

With the Shopify command line interface (Shopify CLI 3.0), you can:

- initialize, build, dev, and deploy Shopify apps, extensions, functions and themes

- build custom storefronts and manage their hosting

Learn more in the [commands docs](./packages/cli/README.md#commands).

 


### Before you begin ###

Install the latest version of  [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started) (or another package manager of your choice).

 


## Developing apps with Shopify CLI

When you’re building a Shopify app, you can initialize your project using your preferred package manager. A single command will install all the dependencies you need — including Shopify CLI itself.

Initialize your project using one of the following commands:

- `npm init @shopify/app@latest` (installed by default with Node)

- `pnpm create @shopify/create-app@latest`

- `yarn create @shopify/app`

- `bun create @shopify/app@latest` (experimental)

Learn more in the docs: [Create an app](https://shopify.dev/apps/getting-started/create)

 


## Developing themes with Shopify CLI

To work with themes, the CLI needs to be installed globally with:

- `npm install -g @shopify/cli @shopify/theme`

You can also use do it through Homebrew on macOS: `brew tap shopify/shopify && brew install shopify-cli`

Learn more in the docs: [Shopify CLI for themes](https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/tools/cli)

 


## Developing Hydrogen custom storefronts with Shopify CLI ##

The Hydrogen code lives here: https://github.com/Shopify/hydrogen/tree/main/packages/cli

Learn more in the docs: [Shopify CLI for Hydrogen storefronts](https://shopify.dev/docs/custom-storefronts/hydrogen/cli)
