Quick Start ​

Create a plugin and run it inside a Motanamy app.

You need: Node.js 18 or later, and a code editor (VS Code is a good choice).

1. Install the Motanamy app ​

Install the app for the platform you're building for.

bash
wget -O - https://app.motanamy.com/MotanamyEA.sh | bash
text
Download the SA desktop app from:
https://motanamy.com/en/apps/SA#download
bash
wget -O - https://app.motanamy.com/MotanamyOS.sh | bash
bash
curl -fsSL https://app.motanamy.com/MotanamyOS.sh | bash
powershell
iex (irm https://app.motanamy.com/MotanamyOS.ps1)

You can also download EA from motanamy.com/en/apps/EA.

EA default login

EA starts with the admin account admin@motanamy.com / 123456. Change the password after your first login.

2. Install the CLI ​

bash
npm install -g motanamy-cli
mot --version

3. Create a plugin ​

bash
mot create my-plugin --type EA   # or SA, OS
cd my-plugin

4. Link the installed app ​

Tell the CLI where the app from step 1 is installed:

bash
mot link add

Run mot link list to check your linked apps.

5. Run it ​

bash
mot dev

This loads your plugin into the linked app so you can test it. Edit the files in 1.0.0/ and reload to see your changes.

6. Publish ​

When the plugin is ready, add your API token once, then publish:

bash
mot token add    # get the token at core.motanamy.com → Settings
mot build        # EA only: packages the plugin as a ZIP
mot publish

See Publish to Store for what the store requires.
