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:

$ npm create vite@latest

With Yarn:

$ yarn create vite

With PNPM:

$ pnpm create vite

With Bun:

$ bunx 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 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
bunx 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.

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
