Local development

You can install Inngest on your local machine and run a full copy of the Inngest API and executor, emulating a production environment.

Install the CLI

First, you must install the Inngest CLI:

curl -sfL https://cli.inngest.com/install.sh | sh \
  && sudo mv ./inngest /usr/local/bin/inngest

To verify that Inngest is installed, run inngest. You should see the following output:

 $ inngest

    ____                            __
   /  _/___  ____  ____ ____  _____/ /_
   / // __ \/ __ \/ __ '/ _ \/ ___/ __/
 _/ // / / / / / / /_/ /  __(__  ) /_
/___/_/ /_/_/ /_/\__, /\___/____/\__/
                /____/

Run Inngest locally

You can run the Inngest dev server locally with an in-memory state store and queue by running:

$ inngest dev

This boots up an API which listens for events on http://127.0.0.1:9999. When the dev server receives events, it will match the event against any functions within your working directory and invoke those functions locally.
