{{< tabs "create-thulite" >}}
{{< tab "npm" >}}

```

{{< /tab >}}
{{< tab "pnpm" >}}

{{< /tabs >}}

## Install dependencies and start dev

Quickly scaffold a new project, install dependencies, and start the dev server:

```cmd
npm create thulite@latest

> npx
> create-thulite

│
◇  Project name:
│  thulite-project
│
◇  Select a template:
│  Doks theme
│
◇  Select a variant:
│  With recommended integrations (SEO and Images)
│
◇  Install with npm and start now?
│  Yes
│
◇  Scaffolding project in /home/h-enk/thulite-project...
│
◇  Installing dependencies with npm...
│
◇  Starting dev server...
```

Follow the prompts to set up your project and start development instantly.

## Interactive

Use the `--interactive` flag to get a guided, step-by-step setup. All options are prompted, even if you provide arguments:

```bash
npm create thulite@latest my-doks-site -- --template doks --interactive
```

Great for exploring options and customizing your project.

## Non-interactive

Skip all prompts with `--no-interactive`. The CLI uses your arguments or sensible defaults:

```bash
npm create thulite@latest my-doks-site -- --template doks --no-interactive
```

Perfect for automation, CI/CD, or scripting.

## Immediate

Use `--immediate` to install dependencies and start the dev server right after scaffolding:

```bash
npm create thulite@latest my-doks-site -- --template doks --immediate
```

No further prompts—just instant setup and launch.
