Ignite
Ignite CLI is the all-in-one platform to build, launch, and maintain any crypto application on a sovereign and secured blockchain. It is a developer-friendly interface to the Cosmos SDK, the world's most widely-used blockchain application framework. Ignite CLI generates boilerplate code for you, so you can focus on writing business logic.
Quick start
Ignite CLI can be installed using popular package managers such as Homebrew and Snap, making it easy to stay up-to-date with the latest versions. These package manager installations are maintained regularly for both macOS and GNU/Linux. For those who prefer manual installation or need to set up a development environment, additional instructions are provided at the end of this section.
Installation
Install Ignite using Homebrew on macOS and GNU/Linux:
brew install ignite
Or manually using the following command:
curl https://get.ignite.com/cli! | bash
Troubleshoot
If Ignite doesn't automatically move to your /usr/local/bin directory, use the following command:
sudo mv ignite /usr/local/bin
If you encounter an error, you may need to create the /usr/local/bin directory and set the necessary permissions:
mkdir /usr/local/bin
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin
To create and start a blockchain:
ignite scaffold chain mars
cd mars
ignite chain serve
The instructions for installing Ignite CLI manually and configuring your system are provided below.

Cosmos SDK compatibility
Blockchains created with Ignite CLI use the Cosmos SDK framework. To ensure the best possible experience, use the version of Ignite CLI that corresponds to the version of Cosmos SDK that your blockchain is built with. Unless noted otherwise, a row refers to a minor version and all associated patch versions.

Ignite Apps
Ignite Apps aims to extend the functionality of Ignite CLI, offering both official and community-contributed integrations. These integrations are designed to streamline development processes and offer valuable insights for blockchain app developers.
Discover Ignite Apps
You can discover available Ignite Apps in the Ignite Marketplace. The marketplace features a variety of apps that can enhance your development experience, including tools for scaffolding, deploying, and more.
How to Install an Ignite App
ignite app install -g github.com/ignite/apps/[app-name]
The ignite app list command allows to list the plugins and their status, and to
update a plugin if you need to get the latest version.
How to Create an App
Scaffold your Ignite app with one simple command:
ignite scaffold app path/to/your/app
Afterwards, install using:
ignite app install -g path/to/your/app
For more information, refer to Creating Ignite Apps.
Also check out the section of our example Apps.
Contributing to Ignite CLI
We welcome contributions from everyone. The main branch contains the
development version of the code. You can create a branch from main and
create a pull request, or maintain your own fork and submit a cross-repository
pull request.
Our Ignite CLI bounty program provides incentives for your participation and pays rewards. Track new, in-progress, and completed bounties in the GitHub Issues board.
Important Before you start implementing a new Ignite CLI feature, the first step is to create an issue on GitHub that describes the proposed changes.
If you're not sure where to start, check out contributing.md for our guidelines and policies for how we develop Ignite CLI. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Ignite CLI!
