Hi folks, there’s an updated [beta release v0.1.0-beta.1](https://github.com/dfinity/icp-cli/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta.1) that introduces some new features:

- You can create project from templates. DFINITY has a small set of templates that the tool uses by default, but you can also point it to your own template repository. See: [GitHub - dfinity/icp-cli-templates: Templates for creating new icp-cli projects](https://github.com/dfinity/icp-cli-templates)
- We introduced a new local network launcher. It is meant to keep a stable interface even as new versions of the replica are released. This means the cli tool will work with different versions of the network: [GitHub - dfinity/icp-cli-network-launcher: Simplified CLI interface to pocket-ic setup](https://github.com/dfinity/icp-cli-network-launcher)

For now, you can install manually or for those of you on mac os you can install it with an experimental homebrew tap:

```auto
brew tap raymondk/icp-cli
brew install icp-cli

```

To see the new cli in action, check out this video: [icp-cli with brew install - asciinema.org](https://asciinema.org/a/phzr4RaWCsQfPN82IG8MrYUMh)

What we’re working on next:

- Native support for docker based networks:
  - This allows developers to easily use complex network setups for local development and share them across teams.
  - Will allow us to release a windows native version of the cli

- Make the CLI installable through common package managers

As always, if you have feedback, we’re happy to hear it.
