Download a Template

How Template downloads differ from Block zips, and how to run a Template locally the first time.

Templates download as full starter apps after your account passes entitlement checks. The zip includes app shell files, merged dependencies, env placeholders, and the Template’s AI integrations.

Block downloads (free or Pro) are a different pipeline. See Download as Next.js app for Blocks.

Where to download

  1. Open a Template on /templates.
  2. Sign in with Premium access if prompted.
  3. Use Download on the Template page.

The download hits the Template API (POST /api/templates/<slug>/download), not the Block download routes.

First run

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Then:

  1. Fill .env.local from the generated placeholders and README.
  2. Open the default setup or home route.
  3. Confirm auth, database, and AI routes respond.

Troubleshooting

  • Download blocked: confirm Premium entitlement and that you are signed in.
  • App fails at runtime: missing env vars or external service credentials are the usual cause.
  • Need only one agent flow: install a Block instead of a full Template.
