Quick start
tcli operates on the current working directory. The examples below assume
tcli is on your PATH.
1. Initialize a project
Section titled “1. Initialize a project”In an empty directory, running the TUI drops you into the guided init flow. Headless:
tcli init --tc-version 2512This writes .tcli.yaml and scaffolds the default config artifacts for that
Teamcenter release.
2. Scaffold an artifact
Section titled “2. Scaffold an artifact”tcli add library --name libsampleSee the add reference for tools, extensions, AW kits, and RAC plugins.
3. Set your environment
Section titled “3. Set your environment”Deploy and export need three machine-specific values: TC_ROOT, TC_DATA,
and UPG. Provide them via the per-machine .tcli.env.yaml file or
environment variables. See Environment resolution.
4. Deploy and export
Section titled “4. Deploy and export”tcli deploy preferencestcli export preferences --category General --scope SITE<type> is the stable config artifact type slug (e.g. preferences), not the friendly
display name. See stable type slugs; the available types
come from your project manifest.
5. Explore the TUI
Section titled “5. Explore the TUI”tcliLaunches the full-screen interface. See the TUI guide for navigation.
