Before we begin...

This section is all about getting started quickly with Snaplet. We'll run you through a workflow that captures, transforms, and shares a snapshot of your local development database. We're using your local development database because you're currently evaluating Snaplet, right? And you may not want to test it against your production or staging database, and we prefer it that way!

Once you're ready to adopt Snaplet for real then you can choose to capture snapshots in a self-hosted environment where you'll change the credentials via an SNAPLET_DATABASE_URL.

Otherwise you'll capture snapshots via a Snaplet Project and you'll give us read-only credentials to your database. Let's go!

Install CLI

You can install the CLI from the command line, run:

curl -sL https://app.snaplet.dev/get-cli/ | bash
