How to install​

This is a beta release, so it is not available on our usual "stable" release channel.

To install JHipster v7.0.0-beta.0 using using NPM:

npm install -g generator-jhipster@beta

It is also available using the JHipster Docker image, as it is automatically built from our source code.

However, as this is a BETA release it will not be available using our other usual channels like:

You also won’t be able to use the jhipster upgrade sub-generator, as it won’t “see” the BETA release, which is distributed through a specific beta channel on NPM.

You can look at v7 upgrade tips page for v7 upgrade hints.
