## How to use nebula CLI in your visualization
You can use the package.json script variant of these commands, which are exposed for you with`nebula create`
When you want to make the `nebula serve`, `nebula build`, and `nebula sense` commands available in your visualization by yourself, run the following command.
```bash
npm install @nebula.js/cli @nebula.js/cli-build @nebula.js/cli-sense @nebula.js/cli-serve
```
or
```bash
yarn add @nebula.js/cli @nebula.js/cli-build @nebula.js/cli-sense @nebula.js/cli-serve
```
Open up your package.json, those dependencies are added.
```json
{
"devDependencies": {
"@nebula.js/cli": "latest",
"@nebula.js/cli-build": "latest",
"@nebula.js/cli-sense": "latest",
"@nebula.js/cli-serve": "latest"
}
}
```
and add a script like so:
```json
"scripts": {
"build": "nebula build",
"start": "nebula serve",
"sense": "nebula sense"
},
```
You can also run nebula cli commands with Node.js. Create a js file called build.js
and add the following:
```js
const build = require('@nebula.js/cli-build');
const sense = require('@nebula.js/cli-sense');
await build({
config: '../nebula.config.js',
sourcemap: false,
core: 'core',
mode: 'production',
watch: false,
});
await sense({ output: 'sn-table-ext', sourcemap: true });
```
and run the following command:
```bash
node build.js
```
## How to test your modified nebula CLI locally and globally
Requirements:
- Node.js
- yarn
Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/qlik-oss/nebula.js
```
From the root directory, run the following command to install all the necessary dependencies of nebula CLI:
```sh
yarn
```
You can modify code in commands directory and do the following to test modified nebula CLI locally and globally:
### Test nebula CLI locally
Run nebula CLI locally to see help info using node.js:
```sh
cd commands/cli
node lib/index.js -h
```
### Test nebula CLI globally
From the commands/cli directory, run the following command to create a global symlik to the binary:
```sh
yarn link
```
Run nebula CLI globally to see help info to check whether it works:
```sh
nebula -h
```
Tips:
If 'There's already a package called "@nebula.js/cli" registered.' or 'command not found: nebula' is displayed.
Run the following command to remove the symlinked nebula and run 'yarn link' again:
```sh
yarn unlink
```
