Installation

To scaffold an app using

create-t3-app

, run any of the following commands and answer the command prompt questions:

npm

npm create t3-app@latest

yarn

yarn create t3-app

pnpm

pnpm create t3-app@latest

bun

bun create t3-app@latest

After your app has been scaffolded, check out the first steps to get started on your new application.

Advanced usage

Option/Flag	Description
`[dir]`	Include a directory argument with a name for the project
`--noGit`	Explicitly tell the CLI to not initialize a new git repo in the project
`-y` , `--default`	Bypass the CLI and bootstrap a new t3-app with all options selected
`--noInstall`	Generate project without installing dependencies

For our CI, we have some experimental flags that allow you to scaffold any app without any prompts. If this use case applies to you, you can use these flags. Please note that these flags are experimental and may change in the future without following semver versioning.

Flag	Description
`--CI`	Let the CLI know you’re in CI mode
`--trpc`	Include tRPC in the project
`--prisma`	Include Prisma in the project
`--drizzle`	Include Drizzle in the project
`--nextAuth`	Include NextAuth.js in the project
`--tailwind`	Include Tailwind CSS in the project
`--dbProvider [provider]`	Include a configured database in the project
`--appRouter`	Use Next.js App Router in the project

⚠️

If you don’t provide the

CI

flag, the rest of these flags have no effect.

You don’t need to explicitly opt-out of the packages you don’t want. However, if you prefer to be explicit, you can pass

false

, e.g.

--nextAuth false

The —dbProvider command has 4 database values to choose from: mysql, postgres, planetscale, sqlite. If the command is not provided the default value will be sqlite.

Example

The following would scaffold a T3 App with tRPC and Tailwind CSS.

pnpm dlx create-t3-app@latest --CI --trpc --tailwind

The following would scaffold a T3 App with NextAuth.js, Tailwind CSS, Drizzle, and PostgreSQL.

pnpm dlx create-t3-app@latest --CI --nextAuth --tailwind --drizzle --dbProvider postgres
