Congrats! ```bash # create a new project in the current directory npm init svelte@next # create a new project in my-app npm init svelte@next my-app ``` > Note: the `@next` is temporary ## Developing Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with `npm install` (or `pnpm install` or `yarn`), start a development server: ```bash npm run dev # or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab npm run dev -- --open ``` ## Building Before creating a production version of your app, install an [adapter](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs#adapters) for your target environment. Then: ```bash npm run build ``` > You can preview the built app with `npm run preview`, regardless of whether you installed an adapter. This should _not_ be used to serve your app in production.
