Installation

Requirements

• Node.js 24+ — Install from nodejs.org. The repo .nvmrc pins Node 24, which is what CI tests against.

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.
