Installation - 中通天鸿 Docs

Getting started with Virex takes just a few minutes. This guide will walk you through installation, authentication, and deploying your first project.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• Node.js 18+ installed on your machine
• A Virex account (sign up at virex.example.com)
• Git installed and configured

Install the CLI

The Virex CLI is the primary way to interact with the platform. Install it globally:

npm install -g @virex/cli

Verify the installation:

virex --version

Authenticate

Log in to your Virex account:

virex login

This opens your browser for authentication. Once complete, you’re ready to create projects.

Initialize Your Project

Navigate to your project directory and initialize Virex:

cd your-project
virex init

This creates a virex.config.js file with sensible defaults:

export default {
  name: 'your-project',
  framework: 'auto', // Virex auto-detects your framework
  buildCommand: 'npm run build',
  outputDirectory: 'dist',
};

Deploy

Deploy your project with a single command:

virex deploy

That’s it! Virex will:

1. Build your project
2. Upload the artifacts
3. Deploy to a preview URL
4. Return the live URL

Next Steps

Now that you’re set up:

• Learn about Configuration options
• Set up environments for staging and production
• Explore Customization options

Troubleshooting

”Command not found: virex”

Make sure npm’s global bin directory is in your PATH. Run npm bin -g to find the location.

Authentication Issues

Try logging out and back in:

virex logout
virex login

Build Failures

Check that your build command works locally before deploying:

npm run build
