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 β€” 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
