Quick Start

This guide shows how to quickly get started with Molybden SDK.

Prerequisites

Creating a Molybden app

Make sure your current working directory is the one where you intend to create a project. Run the following command in your command line:

npm create molybden-app@latest

This command will install and execute create-molybden-app, the official Molybden project scaffolding tool. You will be presented with prompts for your project/application name (e.g. MyApp), the preferred frontend framework (e.g. Vanilla) and language (e.g. JavaScript) for creating application user interface:

Once the project is created, follow the instructions to install dependencies and run your first Molybden app in development mode:

cd MyApp
npm install
npm run molybden dev

You should now have your first Molybden app running!

When you are ready to ship your app to production, run the following:

npm run molybden build

This command will create a production-ready build of your application in a native executable format and place it in the project’s ./build-dist/bin directory.

Next steps

Now that you have created a Molybden project, you can follow the Tutorial where you will learn how to create your first Molybden app.
