# Vercel Deploy Deploy any project to Vercel instantly. **Always deploy as preview** (not production) unless the user explicitly asks for production. ## Prerequisites - When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with `sandbox_permissions=require_escalated`. - The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values. ## Quick Start **Just run this (with a 10 minute timeout):** ```bash vercel deploy [path] -y ``` **Important:** Use a 10 minute (600000ms) timeout for the deploy command since builds can take a while. If that fails with "No existing credentials found", use the fallback method below. ## Fallback (No Auth) If CLI fails with auth error, use the deploy script: ```bash # Deploy current directory bash scripts/deploy.sh # Deploy specific project bash scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project # Deploy existing tarball bash scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project.tgz ``` The script handles framework detection, packaging, and deployment. It waits for the build to complete and returns JSON with `previewUrl` and `claimUrl`. **Tell the user:** "Your deployment is ready at [previewUrl]. Claim it at [claimUrl] to manage your deployment." ## Production Deploys Only if user explicitly asks: ```bash vercel deploy [path] --prod -y ``` ## Output Show the user the deployment URL. For fallback deployments, also show the claim URL. **Do not** curl or fetch the deployed URL to verify it works. Just return the link. ## Troubleshooting ### Escalated Network Access If deployment fails due to network issues (timeouts, DNS errors, connection resets), rerun the deploy with escalated permissions (use `sandbox_permissions=require_escalated`). The deploy requires escalated network access when sandbox networking blocks outbound requests. Example guidance to the user: ``` The deploy needs escalated network access to deploy to Vercel. I can rerun the command with escalated permissions—want me to proceed? ```
