npx likec4 build -o ./dist

Available options:

Option	Description

--base	Base URL the app is being served from, e.g. ”/”, “/pages/” or ”./” for a relocatable app
--use-hash-history	Hash-based navigation, e.g. ”/#/view” instead of “/view”
--use-dot	Use local binaries of Graphviz (“dot”) instead of bundled WASM
--title	Base title of the app pages (default is “LikeC4”)
