FlowCtl Init Command
The init command bootstraps a new FlowSynx environment for the current user profile.
It downloads, installs, and performs one-time initialization of both the FlowSynx core runtime and the optional FlowSynx Console UI (if specified).
Use this command when setting up a fresh development, staging, or production environment.
Usage
flowctl init [options]
Running this command prepares a local FlowSynx instance, ensuring that the correct versions of the core system and console components are installed and configured for use with the FlowCtl CLI.
Options
| Long | Required | Default | Description |

| --console-version | No | latest | The version of the FlowSynx Console web UI to install (if applicable). Accepts a semantic version string (e.g., 1.0.0). |

note
If neither version flag is provided, the command installs the latest stable release of the FlowSynx core system and, if available, the console component.
Examples
