description: The c15t CLI scaffolds, migrates, and configures consent management in your project.
---
`@c15t/cli` is the command-line companion for c15t. It installs packages, scaffolds components, runs codemods between versions, manages self-hosted database migrations, and installs agent skills for AI-assisted development.

## Install & run

The CLI is designed to run via `dlx`/`npx`/`bunx` — you don't need to add it as a dependency.

```bash
# pnpm
pnpm dlx @c15t/cli setup

# npm
npx @c15t/cli setup

# bun
bunx --bun @c15t/cli setup
```

## What it does

* **`setup`** — interactive scaffolder. Detects your framework (React, Next.js), installs packages, configures the consent client, sets environment variables, and adds banner + dialog components.
* **`generate`** — generates schema and code for consent management.
* **`codemods`** — runs migration codemods between c15t versions (e.g. v1 → v2 component renames, `gdprTypes` → `consentCategories`).
* **`self-host migrate`** — runs database migrations for self-hosted `@c15t/backend` deployments.
* **`skills`** — installs reusable c15t agent skills for AI tooling.
* **`login` / `logout`** — authenticates with the hosted control plane (inth.com).

## Telemetry

The CLI collects anonymous usage data to help prioritize features. Telemetry is fully optional. See [Telemetry](./telemetry) for what's collected and how to disable it.
