Set up your development environment

Get familiar with the Ledgerline CLI and our server-side SDKs. You'll use both throughout every guide on this site.

Install the Ledgerline CLI

The CLI lets you create objects, tail API logs and forward webhook events to your local machine.

brew install ledgerline/tap/ledgerline

curl -fsSL https://get.ledgerline.dev/cli.sh | sh

scoop bucket add ledgerline https://github.com/ledgerline/scoop-bucket.git
scoop install ledgerline

Then log in. This pairs the CLI with your sandbox and stores a restricted key on your machine.

ledgerline login

Install a server-side SDK

npm install ledgerline --save

pip install --upgrade ledgerline

gem install ledgerline

go get github.com/ledgerline/ledgerline-go/v4

Run your first SDK request

const ledgerline = require('ledgerline')(process.env.LEDGERLINE_SECRET_KEY);​async function main() {  const product = await ledgerline.products.create({ name: 'Starter plan' });  const price = await ledgerline.prices.create({    product: product.id,    unit_amount: 1200,    currency: 'usd',    recurring: { interval: 'month' },  });  console.log('Created price', price.id);}​main();
