⚙️ Getting started

Below you'll find a step by step guide how to go from a brand new LiveChat Developer Program account to a fully working LiveChat application ready to be used on your LiveChat account.

Warning Before you start make sure to already have a LiveChat account (you can create one here). You will also need Ngrok together with its free account installed on your computer to obtain a temporary and secure public domain for your local application (follow these instructions).

1. Install the LiveChat Developer Console CLI:

npm install -g @livechat/dev-cli

2. Verify that you are using the latest version and can access the CLI:

lcdev --version

3. Login to your LiveChat account inside the CLI:

lcdev login

4. Initialize a new project from our official Nex.js app template:

lcdev init first-livechat-app

5. Install project dependencies and start local dev server:

cd first-livechat-app
npm install
npm run dev

6. Open the HTTP tunnel to obtain secure public domain for your local app:

ngrok http 3000

7. Bootstrap your new LiveChat app by providing the newly established public domain:

lcdev bootstrap --baseURL <your-https-domain-from-ngrok>
