title: Creating a @quasar/app-vite Project
---
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Requirements:**
>
> - Node.js v22+
> - PNPM v11+ (recommended), Yarn v1 classic, NPM or Bun

## Spawn a project folder

```bash
# optional, if you don't have it already:
pnpm add -g @quasar/cli

# now create the project folder:
pnpm create quasar@latest
```

Pick `App with Quasar CLI`.

> [!TIP]
> Under the cover, the package managers globally install our `create-quasar` package and run it. It is NOT recommended, however, to manually install this package yourself because you can easily get out of sync with the "latest" version. We push updates constantly!

## Optional params

                    --install bun

  --engine, -e    (ONLY for template "app") Quasar App Local CLI to use
                    Please note that these do NOT refer to the version of
                    Vite, but rather to the @quasar/app-vite version to use:
                      vite-3 or vite-2

  --defaults, -d  Use default values for the remaining non-specified options
  --no-color      Disable colored output

```

Examples:

```bash
pnpm create quasar@latest my-app --template app --engine vite-3
pnpm create quasar@latest --template ae --preset prompts --preset oxlint
```

By using the `--defaults` option, you are telling our script to fill in with the default values for the remaining non-specified options. This can make the process not requiring to be prompted at all.
