Alpha CLI
Install and run the current create-bankstack alpha with explicit alpha tags.
Use the npm alpha dist-tag for the current alpha. The docs prefer the explicit alpha tag until the project intentionally promotes a stable release.
pnpm dlx create-bankstack@alpha my-bankstack-app
npx create-bankstack@alpha my-bankstack-app
For a non-interactive run, add --yes:
pnpm dlx create-bankstack@alpha my-bankstack-app --yes
Provider AI tooling guidance is optional:
pnpm dlx create-bankstack@alpha my-bankstack-app --ai-tools recommended

Requirements
- Node.js 22.12.0 or newer.
- pnpm 10 or newer for the generated workspace.
The generated workspace expects pnpm. Use npm or pnpm to run the create command, then use pnpm inside the generated project.
The --ai-tools option writes reference notes only. It does not run provider installers, write MCP credentials, authenticate with hosted services, or provision Cloudflare or Supabase resources.
