CLI

Install the Nango CLI

Install the Nango CLI globally:

npm install nango -g

In the folder where you want your integration folder (e.g. root of your project), run:

nango init # Creates `./nango-integrations` with initial config

CLI Authentication

Add the following env vars. We recommend that you have a .env file in ./nango-integrations:

NANGO_SECRET_KEY_PROD='<prod-secret-key>'
NANGO_SECRET_KEY_DEV='<dev-secret-key>'

Get your prod and dev secret keys from the Project Settings tab (toggle between the prod and dev environment in the left nav bar).

For self-hosting, set the NANGO_HOSTPORT env variable to http://localhost:3003 (for local development) or your instance’s URL.
