Shopify CLI
With the Shopify command line interface (Shopify CLI 3.0), you can:
- build custom storefronts and manage their hosting
- initialize, build, dev, and deploy Shopify apps — and scaffold app extensions
Before you begin
Install the latest version of Node.js and npm (or another package manager of your choice).
Developing apps with Shopify CLI

Initialize your project using one of the following commands:
npx @shopify/create-app@latest(installed by default with Node)pnpm create @shopify/create-app@latestyarn create @shopify/app

Developing Hydrogen custom storefronts with Shopify CLI
When you’re building a custom storefront, use Hydrogen, Shopify’s React-based framework optimized for headless commerce. Initialize a new Hydrogen app with a fully-featured Demo Store template, or start from scratch with the minimal Hello World template. Shopify Plus stores can deploy their Hydrogen apps to Oxygen, Shopify’s global hosting solution, at no extra cost.
Get started using one of the following commands:
npm init @shopify/hydrogen@latestnpx @shopify/create-hydrogen@latestpnpm create @shopify/create-hydrogen@latestyarn create @shopify/hydrogen
