CLI
The Tambo CLI is a tool to help you get Tambo apps setup quickly. Here you'll find a description of each command available in the tambo cli.
add
npx tambo add <componentname>
Adds a component hooked up to Tambo to your app.
This command will install the component file directly into the /components/ui
directory of your app so you can easily customize the behavior and styles. It will also install the components' dependencies and update your styles.
init
npx tambo init
Walks you through creating a Tambo project and getting your free API Key. If you don't already have an account, sign up for free to get your API key.
After obtaining your API key, you'll need to set it up in your project:
API Key Setup
Create a .env.local
file in the root of your project to store your Tambo API
key: NEXT_PUBLIC_TAMBO_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
Replace
your_api_key_here
with the actual API key you received during setup. This
file should not be committed to version control as it contains sensitive
information.
