Installation

Requirements

• Bun (recommended) or Node.js 18+ — chant auto-detects the available runtime. Install Bun from bun.sh or Node.js from nodejs.org.

Install

A lexicon is a platform-specific plugin that teaches chant how to generate infrastructure for a target (AWS, Azure, K8s, etc.). Install a lexicon for your target platform (this also installs the chant CLI):

npm install --save-dev @intentius/chant-lexicon-aws

See the AWS lexicon reference for intrinsic functions, composites, and examples.

Verify the Installation

After installing, confirm chant is available:

chant --version

You’re ready to proceed to the Quick Start.
