Gen CLI is fully compatible with the three major operating systems:
- macOS: The latest version of the system is recommended
- Windows (computer): Support for all modern Windows versions
- Linux: Compatible with all major distributions such as Ubuntu, etc.
The following are things to keep in mind when using it across platforms:
- Environment variable settings: The way environment variables are set varies from system to system.
- Dependency management: Ensure that Node.js and npm are properly installed on your system
- Command Line Differences: some commands may behave differently on Windows and Unix-like systems
- Rights Management: Administrator privileges may be required to perform certain automated tasks
Developers can safely migrate between platforms using the Gen CLI, but it is recommended to review the platform-specific installation instructions before using it for the first time. If you encounter problems, you can refer to the issues section of the GitHub repository to find a solution.
