Documentation
Check out the SMK CLI documentation available here
Installation
The SMK CLI can be installed via NPM in two different ways; either local to the current project, or globally for your whole system.
Global installation
To install the command globally, so it can be used from any project in our system, use this command:
npm install -global smk-cli
This may require you to use administrative rights (or sudo) on your machine, depending on how it is configured.
Test that installation was successful by executing:
smk help
Local installation
To install the command local to a particular project, first change into the directory of the project:
cd <project>
npm install --save-dev smk-cli
The smk will be installed for that particular project, as a dev dependency.
Test that installation was successful by executing:
node_modules/.bin/smk help
Commands
smk create [name]
This will launch the command line tool for creating a new SMK application. You can provide a name, it will be the name of the new subdirectory for the application. This will download the latest version of SMK from GitHub and build a map configuration for you to start working with.
smk edit [-p port]
Once you've created an SMK application, or if you have an existing one, you can run this command to launch the visual editor.

Uninstall
