$ npm install -g @sap-cloud-sdk/cli

$ sap-cloud-sdk init my-sdk-project

Hello, World!​

This example is not a classical Hello World. There is much more to it than just bootstrapping a starter application. The SAP Cloud SDK is a complex and flexible library addressing a vast range of use-cases. Each of them would require a Hello World of its own, and we have them!

To continue discovering the SAP Cloud SDK for your favorite programming language check the respective getting started guides and comprehensive tutorials for multiple use cases.
