# Using npm
npm install -g nsgm-cli
# Using yarn
yarn global add nsgm-cli
# Using pnpm
pnpm add -g nsgm-cli
nsgm --version
# Should output: 2.1.13
# Start the interactive wizard (recommended for beginners)
nsgm init
# Or specify project name directly
nsgm init my-awesome-app
The wizard will guide you through:
- ✅ Project name and directory
- ✅ Database configuration
- ✅ Security settings
- ✅ Initial controller setup
cd your-project-name
# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env
Default Login: admin/admin123
To change password (optional):
# Generate secure password hash
npm run generate-password yourNewPassword
# Edit .env file with generated hash
nano .env
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Start development server
npm run dev
Your application will be available at http://localhost:3000
with:
- 🎛️ Admin dashboard with CRUD interface
- 📊 Data import/export functionality
- 🗑️ Batch operations support
- 🔐 Secure login system (Default: admin/admin123)

app.use(
createCSPMiddleware({
directives: {
defaultSrc: ["'self'"],
styleSrc: ["'self'", "'unsafe-inline'"],
scriptSrc: ["'self'"],
},
})
)
