eai dev

Start the local development server with platform connectivity.

Syntax​

eai dev [options]

Description​

The eai dev command starts a local Next.js development server configured to communicate with the Enterprise AI platform services. By default, it uses Turbopack for faster builds and runs connectivity checks before starting the server.

Options​

FlagDescriptionDefault
--port <port>Port number for the local server3000
--turboUse Turbopack for faster development buildstrue
--no-turboDisable Turbopack and use the standard webpack bundler--
--skip-checksSkip platform connectivity checks on startupfalse

Examples​

Start with defaults​

Start the development server on port 3000 with Turbopack enabled:

eai dev

Custom port​

Run the server on a different port:

eai dev --port 3001

Skip platform health checks​

If you are working offline or do not need platform connectivity:

eai dev --skip-checks

Disable Turbopack​

Fall back to the standard webpack bundler:

eai dev --no-turbo

Prerequisites​

Before running eai dev, ensure:

  1. You have installed the CLI.
  2. You have run eai login to authenticate.
  3. You have run eai env pull to sync your local .env.local configuration.

What It Does​

When you run eai dev, the CLI:

  1. Connectivity checks (unless --skip-checks is set): Verifies that the platform services (PublicAPI, Configurator, ResourceAPI, AICore) are reachable and your authentication is valid.
  2. Starts the development server: Launches the Next.js dev server with Turbopack (or webpack if --no-turbo is specified).
  3. Hot reloading: Changes to your code are reflected immediately in the browser.
