Set up the development environment using fw-setup

To build Freshworks apps, your local environment must include the Freshworks Development Kit (FDK) and a supported version of Node.js. The fw-setup skill automates the installation and configuration of these dependencies to meet the following specifications:

  • FDK: Version 10.x
  • Node.js: Version 24.10.x

Install dependencies

Run the following command in the chat interface of your AI assistant to install and configure the required dependencies:

/fw-setup-install

Verify the installation

After the installation completes, run /fw-setup-status in the chat interface of your AI assistant to ensure all components are correctly configured.

If the status check identifies missing dependencies or version conflicts, run /fw-setup-troubleshoot for guided resolution.

For a complete list of configuration flags and advanced options, see fw-setup command reference.
