# CLI dev command

> Source: https://trigger.dev/docs/cli-dev-commands

This runs a server on your machine that can execute Trigger.dev tasks:

npm

pnpm

yarn

    npx trigger.dev@latest dev
    

It will first perform an update check to prevent version mismatches, failed deploys, and other errors. You will always be prompted first. You will see in the terminal that the server is running and listening for tasks. When you run a task, you will see it in the terminal along with a link to view it in the dashboard. It is worth noting that each task runs in a separate Node process. This means that if you have a long-running task, it will not block other tasks from running.

    "scripts": {
      "dev": "concurrently --raw --kill-others npm:dev:*",
      "dev:trigger": "npx trigger.dev@latest dev",
      // Add your framework-specific dev script here, for example:
      // "dev:next": "next dev",
      // "dev:remix": "remix dev",
      //...
    }
