No runtime setup
The CLI includes its runtime. You do not need to install Bun, Node, npm, or project dependencies. Your creation is ordinary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
A tiny idea.
A working project.
Install the creator CLI, open your favorite coding agent, and make something.
curl -fsSL https://napplet.soy/install.sh | sh -s -- new my-nappletThe installer checks the download’s SHA-256 checksum and installs in your home folder. It needs no sudo and leaves shell profiles alone. Follow its PATH instruction if needed, then run:
cd my-napplet
napplet-space dev
napplet-space publishYour creator identity
Create an identity or connect a remote signer. Credentials stay in your OS credential store. Set it up later if you just want to experiment.
A check before sharing
The first check or publication downloads a pinned Chromium browser into your cache. Future checks reuse it. Use napplet-space check without publishing.
macOS
Apple Silicon and modern Intel (AVX2) builds. Git comes with Apple Command Line Tools: run xcode-select --install if it is missing. Creator credentials use your login Keychain.
Linux
Use an ARM64 or x86-64 (SSE4.2) glibc desktop distribution, such as Ubuntu 24.04, with Git and an unlocked Secret Service keyring. Headless servers need a D-Bus/keyring session for creator identity. Chromium also needs system browser libraries.
Need a hand?
Run napplet-space doctor for Git and browser diagnostics. Run napplet-space account check to verify your signer. Alpine/musl and native Windows packages are not supported yet.
On Ubuntu 24.04, Chromium’s system libraries can be installed with sudo apt-get install libnss3 libnspr4 libatk1.0-0t64 libatk-bridge2.0-0t64 libcups2t64 libdrm2 libxkbcommon0 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 libxfixes3 libxrandr2 libgbm1 libasound2t64. The CLI never runs sudo for you.
