Nodana CLI reference

Use ndn to create and operate Phoenixd nodes from your terminal. Node operations use ndn node, positional node IDs select a node, and named flags configure commands.

Get started

Install the CLI, then run ndn login to connect through your browser. Sign in if needed, confirm the code matches your terminal, and authorize the account you want to manage. Complete MFA if prompted.

CLI access lets you read and manage nodes in the selected account for 30 days. Run ndn login again when you need to reconnect. Use ndn status to check your connection or ndn logout to disconnect.

Create your first node

Run ndn node create, then ndn node list to find your nodes.

Save the node ID, endpoint, and any credentials or recovery information returned during creation. Use the node ID for subsequent operations. Creation stores the restricted password for dashboard access by default. Use ndn node create --full if you want to send payments from the app.

Command help

Run ndn --help for general help, ndn node --help for node commands, or ndn node create --help for the options of a particular command.

Use --plain to disable colours, animation and screen clearing.
