Ignite CLI is the all-in-one platform to build, launch, and maintain any crypto application on a sovereign and secured blockchain. It is a developer-friendly interface to the Cosmos SDK, the world's most widely-used blockchain application framework. Ignite CLI generates boilerplate code for you, so you can focus on writing business logic.
Ignite CLI can be installed using popular package managers such as Homebrew and Snap, making it easy to stay up-to-date with the latest versions. These package manager installations are maintained regularly for both macOS and GNU/Linux. For those who prefer manual installation or need to set up a development environment, additional instructions are provided at the end of this section.
Install Ignite using Homebrew on macOS and GNU/Linux:
brew install ignite
Or using Snap on GNU/Linux:
snap install ignite --classic
Or manually using the following command:
curl https://get.ignite.com/cli! | bash
Troubleshoot
If Ignite doesn't automatically move to your /usr/local/bin
directory, use the following command:
sudo mv ignite /usr/local/bin
If you encounter an error, you may need to create the /usr/local/bin
directory and set the necessary permissions:
mkdir /usr/local/bin
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin
To create and start a blockchain:
ignite scaffold chain mars
cd mars
ignite chain serve

Ignite Apps aims to extend the functionality of Ignite CLI, offering both official and community-contributed integrations. These integrations are designed to streamline development processes and offer valuable insights for blockchain app developers.
ignite app install -g github.com/ignite/apps/[app-name]
The ignite app list
command allows to list the plugins and their status, and to
update a plugin if you need to get the latest version.
Scaffold your Ignite app with one simple command:
ignite scaffold app path/to/your/app
Afterwards, install using:
ignite app install -g path/to/your/app
