Use the Salesforce CLI to Create and Install a Package – Trailhead Challenge

Unlocked Packages for Customers -> Build Your First Unlocked Package

TRAILHEAD CHALLENGE:

Use the Salesforce CLI to Create and Install a Package
Before You Start

  • If you haven’t already done so, enable Dev Hub in a Developer Edition org or Trailhead Playground, and install the Salesforce CLI.
  • Sign up for a GitHub account.
  • Create a new Trailhead Playground for this challenge.

Challenge Requirements
Locate the source for the DreamHouse App and use it to create a new unlocked package, then install that package in a Trailhead Playground.

Important: You don’t need to release the package version because you’re going to install it in a scratch org and Trailhead Playground (Developer Edition org). You release the package version only when you’re ready to install it in a production org.

  • Clone the DreamHouse Git repository to get the source files for the DreamHouse app.
  • Using the DreamHouse source, create an unlocked package in your Dev Hub with the name th-dreamhouseand description, My DreamHouse Package.
  • Create version 1.0 of the My DreamHouse Package.
  • Create a scratch org and install version 1.0 in it.
