aspire init command

Name

aspire init - Initialize Aspire support in an existing solution or create a single-file AppHost.

Synopsis

aspire init [options]

Description

The aspire init command initializes Aspire support in your existing .NET solution or creates a single-file AppHost project. This is useful when you want to add Aspire orchestration capabilities to an existing application without creating an entirely new solution structure.

This command defaults to interactive mode. When executed without any options, the command prompts you for the necessary information. When the --version and --source options are provided, the command runs non-interactive mode.

The command performs the following actions:

• Analyzes your existing solution structure
• Adds the necessary Aspire AppHost project or creates a single-file AppHost
• Installs required Aspire packages
• Sets up the initial configuration for orchestration

Options

The following options are available:

• -s, --source

  The NuGet source to use for the project templates.

• -v, --version

  The version of the project templates to use.

• --channel

  Channel to use for templates (stable, staging, daily).

• • • • • • Examples

• Initialize Aspire support in the current solution interactively:

  aspire init
  

• Initialize Aspire support using a specific template version:

  aspire init --version 13.2.0
  

• Initialize Aspire support from a custom NuGet source:

  aspire init --source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json --version 13.2.0
