Migration Guide

If you were previously using akinon-ui new, please switch to the new approach:

Old Way (Deprecated)

# Don't use this anymore
akinon-ui new -n "My Plugin" -t client -p

New Way (Recommended)

# Use this instead
npx create-akinon-app@latest

Why the Change?

The new create-akinon-app approach provides several advantages:

• Simpler installation - No need to install CLI globally
• Always up-to-date - Uses latest templates and dependencies
• Better user experience - Cleaner interactive prompts
• Consistent with industry standards - Follows Next.js/React patterns
• Improved reliability - Better error handling and validation

For Existing Projects

If you have an existing project that was created with the old CLI:

1. Continue development normally - Your existing project will work fine
2. For new projects - Use create-akinon-app going forward
3. Update documentation - Update any scripts or docs that reference the old commands

Local CLI Access

If you need to access CLI commands within an existing UI Protocol workspace, you can still use:

# Install locally in workspace
pnpm add -D @akinon/ui-cli
 
# Access CLI commands
pnpm akinon-ui --help

However, for creating new projects, always prefer create-akinon-app.
