CMS CLI installation issues

SOLVE

Installation should be simple, as it is very straightforward. Im sure Im overlooking something obvious, would appreciate any help from others who have encountered the same.

  1. I have NPM installed

  2. I try and install using npm install -g @hubspot/cms-cliScreenshot 2020-07-21 10.49.09.png I used the global flag in my /usr/local/bin/ directory.
  3. Using hs init returns "zsh: command not found: hs"
  4. Using npm list it shows emptyScreenshot 2020-07-21 10.53.41.png
  5. Moving to my project directory, it shows hubspot installed, but nothing underneath itScreenshot 2020-07-21 10.54.25.png
  6. I try installing in project directory, same issue. It shows HubSpot installed with nothing underneath it and hs init returns the same "zsh: command not found:hs" message.

What am I doing wrong?

2  npm install @hubspot/cms-cli

 

3  npx hs init

 

Ah! I see what you've done 🙂 haha

Oh, that's not quite right! It looks like you've not initiated npm correctly and installed the cli dependancy

Nothing happens after - according to the documentation here https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/guides/getting-started I should be prompted to create a key and to set up the account.

Have you initiated a node package module?

 

for example do you have this package.json in the root of your project?

{
  "name": "theme-2020",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "xxxxx",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "npx hs init",
    "create-theme": "npx hs create website-theme ${npm_package_name}",
    "watch": "npx hs watch ./${npm_package_name} ${npm_package_name} --remove",
    "create-module": "./hs-create-module.sh ${npm_package_name}",
    "delete": "npx hs remove ${npm_package_name}"
  },
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git+https://github.com/andanotherday/xxxxx-hs.git"
  },
  "author": "andanotherday.com",
  "license": "ISC",
  "bugs": {
    "url": "https://github.com/andanotherday/xxxxx-hs/issues"
  },
  "homepage": "https://github.com/andanotherday/xxxx-hs#readme",
  "dependencies": {
    "@hubspot/cms-cli": "^1.1.9"
  }
}

aha, you're welcome 🙂

Just for yours and others references:

Running npm install -g @hubspot/cms-cli should have worked, however as I'm running a project that will be shared between people. My steps require hubspot-cli to be in the project root. This means that it will automatically install hubspot cli for everyone that works on this project with me.

 

Enjoy!

All it has in it is this

{
  "name": "@hubspot/cms-cli",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Hubspot CMS CLI",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "hs init"
  },
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "@hubspot/cms-cli"
  },
  "keywords": [
    "Hubspot",
    "CMS",
    "CLI"
  ],
  "author": "HubSpot",
  "license": "ISC"
}

I am just dollowing the documentation - perhaps too literally - and didn't see what was described as the next step. I apologize for my ignorance here - I usually stick to the ruby and homebrew pkg management environments.
