Set up the CLI and folder

Step-by-step guide to setting up the Nango CLI and integrations folder.

Set up the Nango CLI and an integration folder to develop custom integrations with Nango.

Install the Nango CLI

Install the Nango CLI globally:

npm install -g nango

Create your Nango integrations folder

All your integrations live in a folder called nango-integrations. Whether located in your main codebase or a dedicated repository, this folder should be version-controlled.

To initialize your integrations folder (e.g. at the root of your repository), run:

nango init # Creates `./nango-integrations` folder with some initial configuration

Authenticate the CLI

In an .env file in ./nango-integrations, add the following environment variables:

NANGO_SECRET_KEY_PROD='<PROD-SECRET-KEY>'
NANGO_SECRET_KEY_DEV='<DEV-SECRET-KEY>'

Get your secret keys from the Environment Settings tab (toggle between the Production and Development environment in the left nav bar).
