If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. 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.
