CLI
Scaffold a Next.js app, then init and push definitions.
Amplify Up has two command-line packages. Both require Node 20 or newer.
| Package | When to use |
|---|---|
create-amplifyup | Start a new Next.js app from the starter |
@amplifyup/cli | Work inside an existing project (amplifyup init, amplifyup push) |
create-amplifyup adds @amplifyup/cli as a devDependency.
The Node SDK (@amplifyup/sdk) is separate — it runs in the app for visitors and Composer. See Install.
