+NocoBase CLI (`nb`) is a command-line tool for setting up and managing NocoBase
+apps in a local workspace. It helps you connect coding agents to NocoBase by
+preparing the app, saving the CLI env config, and providing day-to-day commands
+for start, stop, logs, upgrade, and cleanup.

-</p>
+The CLI supports two common setup paths:
 
-## What is NocoBase
+- Connect an existing NocoBase app so coding agents can use it.
+- Install a new NocoBase app from Docker, npm, or Git, then connect it as a CLI env.
 
-NocoBase is the most extensible AI-powered no-code platform.   
-Total control. Infinite extensibility. AI collaboration.  
-Enable your team to adapt quickly and cut costs dramatically.  
-No years of development. No millions wasted.  
-Deploy NocoBase in minutes — and take control of everything.
+## Prerequisites
 
-Homepage:  
-https://www.nocobase.com/  
+- Node.js v20+
+- Yarn 1.x
+- Git, required when installing from Git source
+- Docker, required when installing with Docker or using the built-in database
 
-Online Demo:  
-https://demo.nocobase.com/new
+## Installation
 
-Documents:  
-https://docs.nocobase.com/
+Install the CLI globally:
 
-Forum:  
-https://forum.nocobase.com/
+```bash
+npm install -g @nocobase/cli@alpha

+Check the available commands:
 
-## Release Notes
+```bash
+nb --help
+nb init --help
+```
 
-Our [blog](https://www.nocobase.com/en/blog/timeline) is regularly updated with release notes and provides a weekly summary.
+## Core Concepts
 
-## Distinctive features
+- **Workspace**: the current project folder where `.nocobase` is stored.
+- **Env**: a named NocoBase connection saved by the CLI. In `nb init`, the app name is also the env name.
+- **Source**: how the local app is obtained. Supported values are `docker`, `npm`, and `git`.
+- **Remote env**: an env that only stores an API connection to an existing NocoBase app.
+- **Runtime resources**: local app process, Docker app container, built-in database container, source directory, and storage directory managed by CLI commands.
 
-### 1. Data model-driven, not form/table–driven
+## Quick Start
 
-Instead of being constrained by forms or tables, NocoBase adopts a data model–driven approach, separating data structure from user interface to unlock unlimited possibilities.
+### Guided Setup
 
-- UI and data structure are fully decoupled
-- Multiple blocks and actions can be created for the same table or record in any quantity or form
-- Supports the main database, external databases, and third-party APIs as data sources
+Run the guided terminal flow:
 
-![model](https://static-docs.nocobase.com/model.png)
+```bash
+nb init
+```
 
-### 2. AI employees, integrated into your business systems
-Unlike standalone AI demos, NocoBase allows you to embed AI capabilities seamlessly into your interfaces, workflows, and data context, making AI truly useful in real business scenarios.
+Use the browser-based setup form:
 
-- Define AI employees for roles such as translator, analyst, researcher, or assistant
-- Seamless AI–human collaboration in interfaces and workflows
-- Ensure AI usage is secure, transparent, and customizable for your business needs
+```bash
+nb init --ui
+```
 
-![AI-employee](https://static-docs.nocobase.com/ai-employee-home.png)
+`nb init` can either connect to an existing NocoBase app or install a new one.
+When creating a new app, it can also install NocoBase AI coding skills
+(`nocobase/skills`) for the current workspace.
 
-### 3. What you see is what you get, incredibly easy to use
+### Non-Interactive Setup
 
-While enabling the development of complex business systems, NocoBase keeps the experience simple and intuitive.
+When prompts are skipped, an app/env name is required:
 
-- One-click switch between usage mode and configuration mode
-- Pages serve as a canvas to arrange blocks and actions, similar to Notion
-- Configuration mode is designed for ordinary users, not just programmers
+```bash
+nb init --env app1 --yes
+```
 
-![wysiwyg](https://static-docs.nocobase.com/wysiwyg.gif)
+Install with Docker:
 
-### 4. Everything is a plugin, designed for extension
-Adding more no-code features will never cover every business case. NocoBase is built for extension through its plugin-based microkernel architecture.
+```bash
+nb init --env app1 --yes --source docker --version alpha
+```
 
-- All functionalities are plugins, similar to WordPress
-- Plugins are ready to use upon installation
-- Pages, blocks, actions, APIs, and data sources can all be extended through custom plugins
+Install from npm:
 
-![plugins](https://static-docs.nocobase.com/plugins.png)
+```bash
+nb init --env app1 --yes --source npm --version alpha --app-port 13080
+```
 
-## Installation
+Install from Git source:
+
+```bash
+nb init --env app1 --yes --source git --version alpha
+```
+
+For Git source installs, `--version alpha` resolves to the `develop` branch.
+
+Install from a Git branch:
+
+```bash
+nb init --env app1 --yes --source git --version fix/cli-v2
+```
+
+`--version` is the shared version input across sources:
+
+- npm: package version
+- Docker: image tag
+- Git: git ref such as a branch or tag
+
+By default, a new local app uses:
+
+- Source directory: `./<envName>/source/`
+- Storage directory: `./<envName>/storage/`
+
+### Resume an Interrupted Setup
+
+If `nb init` was interrupted after the env config had already been saved, you can continue the same setup:
+
+```bash
+nb init --env app1 --resume
+```
+
+The advanced low-level equivalent is:
+
+```bash
+nb install --env app1 --resume
+```
+
+`--resume` reuses the saved workspace env config for app, source, database, and env connection settings. In interactive mode, it only asks for any missing setup-only values.
+
+In non-interactive mode, pass these setup-only flags again because they are not saved in env config:
+
+- `--lang`
+- `--root-username`
+- `--root-email`
+- `--root-password`
+- `--root-nickname`
+
+## Daily Commands
+
+| Command | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `nb init` | Set up NocoBase and connect it as a CLI env for coding agents. |
+| `nb install` | Advanced command used by `nb init` to install a local NocoBase app and save env config. In most cases, use `nb init` instead. |
+| `nb download` | Advanced command used by `nb init` or `nb upgrade` to fetch NocoBase from Docker, npm, or Git. It is rarely used directly. |
+| `nb start` | Start the selected local app or Docker container. |
+| `nb stop` | Stop the selected local app or Docker container. |
+| `nb dev` | Run development mode for npm/Git source envs. |
+| `nb logs` | Show app logs for npm/Git or Docker envs. |
+| `nb ps` | Show runtime status for configured envs. |
+| `nb db` | Inspect or manage built-in database runtime status for local envs. |
+| `nb upgrade` | Refresh code/image and restart the selected app. |
+| `nb down` | Stop and remove local runtime containers for an env. |
+| `nb env` | Manage saved CLI env connections. |
+| `nb api` | Call NocoBase API resources from the CLI. |
+| `nb pm` | Manage plugins for the selected NocoBase env. |
+
+Recommended style: use `--env` explicitly for app/runtime commands. `-e` is the short form:
+
+```bash
+nb start --env app1
+nb logs --env app1
+nb ps --env app1
+nb db ps --env app1
+```
+
+Equivalent shorthand examples:
+
+```bash
+nb start -e app1
+nb logs -e app1
+nb upgrade -e app1
+nb db start -e app1
+```
+
+## Runtime Types
+
+### Docker
+
+Docker envs are managed through saved Docker containers and images:
+
+```bash
+nb init --env app1 --yes --source docker --version alpha
+nb start --env app1
+nb logs --env app1
+nb stop --env app1
+```
+
+Docker downloads support platform selection:
+
+```bash
+nb download --source docker --version alpha --docker-platform auto
+nb download --source docker --version alpha --docker-platform linux/amd64
+nb download --source docker --version alpha --docker-platform linux/arm64
+```
+
+### npm and Git
+
+npm and Git envs use a local source directory and can run development mode:
+
+```bash
+nb init --env app1 --yes --source git --version alpha
+nb dev --env app1
+```
+
+`nb dev` only supports npm/Git source envs. Docker envs can be inspected with
+`nb logs`, and remote envs only support API/env operations.
+
+### Existing NocoBase App
+
+To connect an existing app, use `nb init` and choose the existing-app setup
+path, or add the env directly:
+
+```bash
+nb env add app1 --base-url http://localhost:13000/api
+```
+
+`nb env add` will start the authentication flow automatically when needed.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+Upgrade refreshes the saved source or image, then restarts the app:
+
+```bash
+nb upgrade --env app1
+```
+
+Use `--skip-code-update` or `-s` to restart with the saved local code or Docker
+image without downloading updates first:
+
+```bash
+nb upgrade --env app1 -s
+```
+
+## Database Commands
+
+Use `nb db` to inspect or manage the built-in database runtime for a local env:
+
+```bash
+nb db ps
+nb db ps --env app1
+nb db start --env app1
+nb db stop --env app1
+nb db logs --env app1
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `nb db start` and `nb db stop` only work for envs created with the built-in database option enabled.
+- `nb db logs` only works for envs created with the built-in database option enabled.
+- `nb db ps` can also show `external` or `remote` status for envs that do not have a CLI-managed database container.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Bring down a local env:
+
+```bash
+nb down --env app1
+```
+
+By default, `nb down` stops the app and removes app/database containers if they
+exist. It keeps user data, source files, and CLI env config.
+
+Use explicit flags for destructive cleanup:
+
+```bash
+nb down --env app1 --remove-data
+nb down --env app1 --remove-source
+nb down --env app1 --remove-env
+```
+
+- `--remove-data`: delete storage and managed database data. This requires confirmation unless `--yes` is used.
+- `--remove-source`: delete the npm/Git source directory.
+- `--remove-env`: remove the saved CLI env config.
+
+## Environment Management
+
+Show the current env:
+
+```bash
+nb env
+```
+
+List configured envs:
+
+```bash
+nb env list
+```
+
+Switch the current env:
+
+```bash
+nb env use app1
+```
+
+Re-authenticate an env when credentials need to be refreshed:
+
+```bash
+nb env auth app1
+```
+
+Update runtime command metadata from the selected app:
+
+```bash
+nb env update app1
+```
+
+## API Commands
+
+The CLI can call NocoBase resources through the configured env:
 
-NocoBase supports three installation methods:
+```bash
+nb api resource list --resource users -e app1
+nb api resource get --resource users --filter-by-tk 1 -e app1
+nb api resource create --resource users --values '{"nickname":"Ada"}' -e app1
+```
 
-- <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.nocobase.com/welcome/getting-started/installation/docker-compose">Installing With Docker (👍Recommended)</a>
+Use `-j, --json-output` to print raw JSON when available:
 
-  Suitable for no-code scenarios, no code to write. When upgrading, just download the latest image and reboot.
+```bash
+nb api resource list --resource users -e app1 -j
+```
 
-- <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.nocobase.com/welcome/getting-started/installation/create-nocobase-app">Installing from create-nocobase-app CLI</a>
+Available API command topics:
 
-  The business code of the project is completely independent and supports low-code development.
+| Command | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `nb api acl` | Manage access control based on roles, resources, and actions. |
+| `nb api api-keys` | Manage API keys for HTTP API access. |

+## Local Data
 
-  If you want to experience the latest unreleased version, or want to participate in the contribution, you need to make changes and debug on the source code, it is recommended to choose this installation method, which requires a high level of development skills, and if the code has been updated, you can git pull the latest code.
+The CLI stores workspace-level config in `.nocobase`:
 
-## How NocoBase works
+- `config.json`: env definitions, current env, and workspace-level settings.
+- `versions/<version>/commands.json`: cached runtime commands generated from the target app.

+Runtime data such as source files, storage files, Docker containers, and
+database data are managed separately according to the env source and install
+options.
