Scaffolding Your First Vite Project Compatibility Note: Vite requires Node.js version 14.18+, 16+. However, some templates require a higher Node.js version to work, please upgrade if your package manager warns about it.
With NPM:
$ npm create vite@latest With Yarn:
$ yarn create vite With PNPM:
$ pnpm create vite Then follow the prompts!
You can also directly specify the project name and the template you want to use via additional command line options. For example, to scaffold a Vite + Vue project, run:
npm create vite@latest my-vue-app --template vue
npm create vite@latest my-vue-app -- --template vue
yarn create vite my-vue-app --template vue
pnpm create vite my-vue-app --template vue Currently supported template presets include:
vanilla vanilla-ts vue vue-ts react react-ts preact preact-ts lit lit-ts svelte svelte-ts You can use . for the project name to scaffold in the current directory.
Community Templates create-vite is a tool to quickly start a project from a basic template for popular frameworks. Check out Awesome Vite for community maintained templates that include other tools or target different frameworks. You can use a tool like degit to scaffold your project with one of the templates.
npx degit user/project my-project cd my-project
npm install npm run dev If the project uses main as the default branch, suffix the project repo with #main
npx degit user/project#main my-project
