Our entire platform is built on a set of REST APIs. A subset of these APIs are implemented in our CLI (command line interface). We are also working on a web admin panel based on these APIs which will eventually allow you to provision, monitor, and control Node.JS applications running on the Nodester platform without going to the command line.
Our command line interface allows you to manage your user account and applications with simple commands. Before you can begin using these commands, you need to install the Nodester CLI using NPM.
npm install nodester-cli -g
