Getting started

Choose your deployment model first:

• Managed GC2 Cloud: Sign up and create a backend
• Self-hosted with Docker: Open source and self-hosting guide

Then pick whichever interface suits you — Web App, CLI, or API. All three give you access to the full platform.

Web App

The GC2 Web App is the fastest way to get started. After creating a backend, open the console and you can visually manage schemas, tables, columns, users, clients, and more — no code required.

Install the CLI

npm

npm install @mapcentia/gc2-cli --global

Yarn

yarn global add @mapcentia/gc2-cli

pnpm

pnpm add @mapcentia/gc2-cli --global

Use the CLI

Start by logging in to your backend:

gc2 login

Create a new schema for your tables:

gc2 schema add "rollhall"

Create a new table in the schema:

gc2 table add "rollhall" "inductees"

Add columns in your table:

gc2 column add "rollhall" "inductees" "id" int
gc2 column add "rollhall" "inductees" "name" varchar

Then add a primary key to your id column:

gc2 constraint add "rollhall" "inductees" "id" primary

Now your table is ready for data inserts:

echo "INSERT into rollhall.inductees values(1, ‘Guns n’’ Roses’)" | gc2 sql

Run queries on your table:

echo "select * from rollhall.inductees" | gc2 sql
