Let’s start by seeing how easy it is to configure a Lyrid Client.

We’ve designed the Lyrid Platform to streamline app development by making the Lyrid Client (or LC) as available as possible. 

Start by accessing our website’s documentation page on how to download and configure the LC:

To do that, go to Lyrid.io, fo to the learn tab, and click on documentation

  1. Select the appropriate version you’d like to download.
  2. Navigate into your selected drive to set the LC. In this example, I created a folder on my C:Drive named lyrid-bin
  3. Drag and drop the Lyrid Client into the appropriate folder.
  4. Add the folder into your Pathname under System Properties:
  5. Similar to Python, Node.JS, and other language frameworks — your LC and its commands are now accessible throughout your system!

Deploying a Next.js application in Lyrid starts with visiting lyrid.io and signing in or creating a new account. Just fill in your email, password, name, and company name. 

The first things you should see include your access and secret key. Copy this to a notepad because we’ll need it later. With the access and secret key, you can now initialize the Lyrid client on your local machine. Open up a terminal and input:

lc config add –config “default” –key “<key>” –secret “<secret>” 

Now, you can log in to your Lyrid account and start deploying!

  • Navigate towards our App Details tag to download the framework code, this grabs the code Lyrid needs and will automatically create the code definition. Choose your desired platform and cluster, click “continue”, and the basic framework of a Next.js is now deployed! Feel free to add any code and test it with the generated url.
