Installation

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ or Bun 1.0+

Install as a CLI

npm install -g @linuxctrl/newt

Or with Bun:

bun install -g @linuxctrl/newt

After installation, run it:

npx @linuxctrl/newt

Use without Installing

bunx @linuxctrl/newt

This fetches and runs the latest version without installing it globally.

Install as a Library

npm install @linuxctrl/newt

Then import it programmatically:

import { generate, languages } from "@linuxctrl/newt";

// List available languages
console.log(languages);

// Generate a project
await generate({
  language: "typescript",
  framework: { id: "express", name: "Express", ... },
  deps: [],
  name: "my-api",
  directory: "",
});

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/LinuxCTRL/newt.git
cd newt
bun install
bun run build

This produces dist/ with the CLI and library.
