Installation

Overview of how to initialize a SolidX project with links to the full step-by-step tutorial.

Installing SolidX

Installing SolidX is a breeze with our solidctl create-app workflow.

Mental Model

Installing SolidX is really a project bootstrap step, not just a package installation step.

create-app scaffolds a new SolidX application workspace.
- That workspace includes both solid-api and solid-ui.
- You then build the project, seed metadata, and start development from there. So the intuition is: you are creating a working SolidX project skeleton, not merely adding a dependency to an existing folder.

Quick Overview

Run the command below to initialize your SolidX project:
```
npx @solidxai/solidctl@latest create-app
```
Answer a few simple prompts to configure your project.
This scaffolds a new project with both backend and frontend applications.
After scaffolding, the usual next steps are to build the project and seed metadata.
Customize SolidX to fit your needs!
