Scaffolding Your First Vite Project

> Compatibility Note:
> Vite requires Node.js version 18+, 20+. However, some templates require a higher Node.js version to work, please upgrade if your package manager warns about it.

With NPM:

``bash
npm create vite@latest
`

With Yarn:

`bash
yarn create vite
`

With PNPM:

`bash
pnpm create vite
`

With Bun:

`bash
bun 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:

`bash


npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:

npm create vite@latest my-vue-app -- --template vue

yarn

yarn create vite my-vue-app --template vue

pnpm

pnpm create vite my-vue-app --template vue

Bun

bun create vite my-vue-app --template vue
`

Currently supported template presets include:

- vanilla
- vanilla-ts
- vue
- vue-ts
- react
- react-ts
- react-swc
- react-swc-ts
- preact
- preact-ts
- lit
- lit-ts
- svelte
- svelte-ts
- solid
- solid-ts
- qwik
- qwik-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.

`bash
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

`bash
npx degit user/project#main my-project
``
