rad initialize CLI reference

rad initialize

Initialize Radius

Synopsis

Interactively install the Radius control-plane and setup an environment.

If an environment already exists, ‘rad init’ will prompt the user to use the existing environment or create a new one.

By default, ‘rad init’ will optimize for a developer-focused environment with an environment named “default” and Recipes that support prototyping, development and testing using lightweight containers. These environments are great for building and testing your application.

Specifying the ‘–full’ flag will cause ‘rad init’ to prompt the user for all available configuration options such as Kubernetes context, environment name, and cloud providers. This is useful for fully customizing your environment.
