Initial Setup #

Before you begin, make sure you have gone through the steps in the Prerequisites section.

You must also have Docker running and Yarn installed in your development environment to complete this walkthrough.

Create the Parent Directory and Project Directory #

Parent Directory #

We’ll create a parent directory to hold all of the code for this workshop:

mkdir construct-hub-workshop && cd construct-hub-workshop

Project Directory #

Next we’ll create a project directory for the actual Construct Hub construct we’ll be deploying to our aws account:

mkdir internal-construct-hub && cd internal-construct-hub

Create a New TypeScript CDK Project #

We will use cdk init to create a new TypeScript CDK project:

cdk init app --language typescript
