Install and verify

Before you start

• node: >=20.

Use a project with a package.json. Check the runtime and package manager:

1node --version
2npm --version

Install the documented version

1npm install @qentrah/dui@0.1.2

Confirm the installation

1npm ls @qentrah/dui

The output should show @qentrah/dui@0.1.2. Commit the lockfile so another developer installs the same dependency tree.

Install

Initialize shadcn in an existing React project:

1npx @qentrah/dui init

Add a DUI component using the npm shortcut:

1npx @qentrah/dui add button

You can also use the shadcn CLI directly:

1npx shadcn@latest add qentrah/DUI/button

You can install multiple items:

1npx @qentrah/dui add button input card

Preview an installation without writing files:

1npx @qentrah/dui add button --dry-run

Pin a release or commit for reproducible installations:

1npx shadcn@latest add qentrah/DUI/button#5ea373366b411d52d0a5481b170e405c5bc5d3f7

Expected result

The selected component source appears in the directory configured by components.json. Review the changes before committing them. The CLI passes shadcn options through; use --dry-run to preview the target files.
