# Generate a SBOM

Xygeni allows to generate a SBOM for a certain project.

Two SBOM formats are currently supported:

* **CycloneDX** (JSON schema) .See <https://cyclonedx.org/> for full details.
* SPDX, in JSON serialization format, standard ISO/IEC 5962:2021. See <https://spdx.dev/> for full details.

You have two options to generate an SBOM:

1. [From the Web User Interface](#sbom_options)
2. [Using the Xygeni CLI](#sbom_options-1)

Once you have selected a project, the **Inventory** >> **Repositories** will present you the **Download SBOM** option.

### Generate a SBOM with the Xygeni CLI <a href="#sbom_options" id="sbom_options"></a>

You can also generate a SBOM with the xygeni CLI. This is useful if you need the SBOM during a build/deploy CI/CD process.
