Install

Prerequisites and the fastest path into a CELLAS starter project.

Requirements

  • Node.js ^22.13.0 || >=24.0.0
  • A package manager: pnpm 9.x (recommended), npm, yarn, or bun

Do not clone the monorepo for your first PASS. Scaffold a starter:

pnpm create cellas my-docs
cd my-docs
pnpm install

Then continue with Quick Start (verifycertifyPASS).
