To build your chain using Pop CLI

If you are outside the project's directory, you can specify the path

pop build -p ./my-chain

If you are building the chain with the intent to onboard to a Polkadot Relay chain then you can run the following build command:

pop build -p ../my-chain --para_id 2000

This command will build your chain and generate the chain spec, the WebAssembly runtime, and generate the chain genesis state needed for registering and onboarding onto the Relay chain.
