Installation Methods

Install next-lovable globally to use it from anywhere: 
npm install -g next-lovable@0.0.6
Global installation allows you to run next-lovable from any directory on your system.

​
Verify Installation

Check if next-lovable is installed correctly: 
next-lovable --version
You should see version 0.0.6 displayed.

​
Updating to Newer Version

To update to the latest version with more features: 
npm update -g next-lovable
Recommended: Consider upgrading to version 0.0.7+ which offers free single file conversions without authentication requirements.

​
Troubleshooting

If you get permission errors on macOS/Linux, try:
sudo npm install -g next-lovable@0.0.6
Or better yet, configure npm to use a different directory:
mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
If next-lovable command is not found after installation:
  1. Restart your terminal
  2. Check if the npm global bin directory is in your PATH: 
    npm config get prefix
echo $PATH
  3. Add npm global bin to your PATH if missing
If you cannot authenticate:
  1. Ensure you have a valid account at nextlovable.com
  2. Check that your API key is correctly copied
  3. Verify network connectivity to api.nextlovable.com
  4. Try re-running the auth command
