The `elizaos` binary creates and upgrades generated workspaces. It does not run the generated app directly; use the generated package scripts for app workflows.

## Install

```bash
npx elizaos
bun add -g elizaos
```

## Commands

| Command | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| [`elizaos create`](/cli-reference/create) | Create a project or plugin from a packaged template. |
| [`elizaos upgrade`](/cli-reference/upgrade) | Upgrade managed files in the current generated workspace. |
| [`elizaos info`](/cli-reference/info) | Show available templates and languages. |
| [`elizaos version`](/cli-reference/version) | Print CLI version information. |

## App Workflows

After creation, run project or plugin scripts:

```bash
bun install
bun run dev
bun run build
bun run test
```

The exact script list is defined by the generated `package.json`.
