Pre-requisites

You must have Node.js installed.
Minimum supported version is 20.x, but using the latest stable version is recommended.

You can also use LikeC4 Docker.

Run build command, that prepares a folder with static files ready to be deployed to any host.

npx likec4 build -o ./dist

Available options:

Option	Description
-o, --output	Output directory
--base	Base URL from which the app is being served, 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”)
--output-single-file	Generates a single self-contained HTML file

Deploy

The LikeC4 CLI uses Vite to build the website.

All the examples from Vite documentation apply to LikeC4, just replace vite build with likec4 build.
