Quickstart with Lia
Get Lia up and running in your local environment or IDE with step-by-step setup guides.
By the end of this guide, you'll have Lia configured and ready to work in your preferred development environment.
Configuring Lia with the CLI
The easiest way to set up Lia is through the SaaS Boilerplate CLI. Even after initial project creation, you can configure or update Lia at any time.
Run the Lia configuration command
npx saas-boilerplate@latest liaThis launches an interactive menu for managing Lia configurations.
Choose your action
The main menu offers several options:
- Initialize LIA on my Code Agents: Set up Lia for your preferred development tools
- Sync All Configurations: Update all AI code agent settings across your environment
- Update .gitignore: Add Lia-specific patterns to your .gitignore file
- Exit: Close the menu
Configure code agents (if selected)
When initializing Lia, you'll see a multi-select list of supported code agents:
- GitHub Copilot
- Cursor
- Claude Code
- Codex CLI
- Gemini CLI
- OpenCode
- Cline
- Roo Code
- Qwen Code
- Kiro IDE
- Amazon Q Developer CLI

Select all the agents you use, then confirm to apply the configuration. This replaces their default training with Lia's specialized setup for the SaaS Boilerplate ecosystem.
