Contributor prerequisites

FrameKit is a private pnpm monorepo. Start from the repository root and use the versions declared by the root package.json:

Node.js >=22.13.0.
pnpm >=11.14.0.

The root also pins the package manager with packageManager: "pnpm@11.14.0". The workspace includes apps/* and packages/* through pnpm-workspace.yaml.

Install dependencies

From the repository root, install the lockfile-resolved dependencies:

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

This is the clean-checkout installation path for the workspace. After installation, pnpm check:runtime can verify the repository’s runtime, manifest, documentation, and CI version contract.

Continue

Follow local development to build the public package and start the first-party Studio. For a generated application instead, use user getting started.
