Download Blended CLI

Setup your Blended root directory by the following command:

Note: Documents will be your default Blended root directory. You can change it based on your requirement using the below command:

Ex: bd setup blended_root

It will give you a success message. Your working directory is set as "blended_root" successfully for your account "ranjeet".

Note: Executing this command will set up the Blended root directory inside your Blended CLI folder and it will download the initial packages in the ranjeet/src folder including its dependencies in the ranjeet/lib folder.

Go to Blended working directory

In my case, the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Blended-CLI-0.0.1\themes If you have not specified working directory then your path would be something like this C:\Users\Ranjeet\Documents\blended\ranjeet

So, you need to go to this path to check packages in the “src” directory in local storage: In our case the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Blended-CLI-0.0.1\themes\ranjeet\src

Create a Blended account by the following command:

Ex: bd account create ranjeet --name ranjeetk --email ranjeetk@cognam.com --password india@123

It will give you a success message as, Hi Ranjeet, You are logged in Now!!

Note: Keep account_name and --name in the lower case. It must be unique.

Login by the following command:

Ex: bd account login --login ranjeet--password atoms@123
