@noormdev/cli

A CLI for SQL-first database development. Manage SQL files, track changes, and run builds across dev, staging, and production — no ORM required.

Documentation | Getting Started | Source

Install

npm install -g @noormdev/cli

Installing this package downloads the prebuilt noorm binary for your platform from GitHub Releases and verifies its SHA-256 against the release's checksums.txt before making it executable. A mismatch aborts the install.

You can also install without npm:

curl -fsSL https://noorm.dev/install.sh | sh

Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and SQL Server on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Quick Start

# Initialize a project
noorm init

# Launch the interactive TUI
noorm ui

# Or run commands headlessly
noorm config add
noorm run build
noorm change ff

What It Does

• SQL files define your current schema — no migration archaeology
• Changes evolve existing databases from any state to current
• Stages manage dev, staging, and production with different configs

You write SQL. noorm executes it, tracks what ran, and keeps multiple environments in sync.

Every command runs non-interactively by default and emits structured output suitable for CI/CD — see the headless reference.

Programmatic access

For type-safe database access in your applications, use the SDK:

npm install @noormdev/sdk kysely
