Build full-stack apps on your own infrastructure.
Installation
For JavaScript projects, install SST locally so the CLI version is tracked with your app. You can then run the CLI with the same package manager.
npm install sst
# pnpm add sst
# bun add sst
# yarn add sst
If you are not using JavaScript, you can install the CLI globally.
curl -fsSL https://sst.dev/install | bash
To install a specific version.
curl -fsSL https://sst.dev/install | VERSION=0.0.403 bash
To use a package manager, check out our docs.
Manually
Download the pre-compiled binaries from the releases page and copy to the desired location.

Running Locally
Run bun run setup. You need Go and Bun installed.
Now you can run the CLI locally on any of the examples/ apps.
cd examples/aws-api
go run ../../cmd/sst <command>
If you want to build the CLI binary, run bun run build:cli. This will create a sst binary that you can use.
For building the docs, run bun run docs:generate and bun run docs:dev.
