CDM CLI

CDM (Common Data Model) is a language for defining data models and generating code across multiple platforms.

Installation

Install via npm:

npm install -g @cdm-lang/cli

Or use it in a project:

npm install --save-dev @cdm-lang/cli

Usage

After installation, the cdm command will be available:

cdm --help

Command Line

# Run CDM CLI
cdm <command> [options]

Programmatic Usage

You can also use CDM programmatically in Node.js:

const cdm = require('@cdm-lang/cli');

// Get the path to the binary
const binaryPath = cdm.getBinaryPath();
console.log('CDM binary location:', binaryPath);

// Run CDM with arguments
const exitCode = cdm.run(['--help']);

How It Works

This npm package automatically downloads the appropriate pre-built CDM binary for your platform during installation. The binary is built from Rust and distributed via GitHub releases.

Supported Platforms

• macOS (Intel x64)
• macOS (Apple Silicon arm64)
• Linux (x64)
• Linux (ARM64)
• Windows (x64)

Updating

To update CDM to a newer version, use npm:

# For global installations
npm update -g @cdm-lang/cli

# For local project installations
npm update @cdm-lang/cli

Note: The CDM CLI has a built-in cdm update command, but when installed via npm, you should use npm update instead to keep your npm package registry in sync with the actual binary version.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter installation issues:

1. Make sure you have a stable internet connection
2. Try clearing npm cache: npm cache clean --force
3. Reinstall: npm uninstall -g @cdm-lang/cli && npm install -g @cdm-lang/cli

If the binary fails to download, you can manually install CDM from the GitHub releases page.
