Hello,

I am using the docker installation of discourse, but cant seem to interact with ember. I would like to add some ember addons to the project, but no ember commands work (I get the error ember: No such file or directory). I am sure I am missing something here.

Thank you!

You should search for “plugin development.”

More specifically, I think the problem is that you’re trying to use Ember’s CLI tool, which Discourse doesn’t use as far as I know.

Follow @pfaffman’s suggestion to get started, and let us know if you run into problems 🙂

…and I just realized that this is a duplicate of:

> Hello, I am about to start hacking away at discourse, but I am confused how ember is used. Running commands such as ‘ember version’ or ‘ember g ’ give the error ‘ember: No such file or directory’. Do I need to install the ember cli separately?
