Create a modern Next.js 15 app with TypeScript, Tailwind, ShadCN, and more

✅ Successfully created a Next.js app at ${projectPath}

Inside that directory, you can run several commands:

  ${packageManager === "yarn" ? "yarn" : packageManager === "pnpm" ? "pnpm" : packageManager === "bun" ? "bun" : "npm run"} dev
    Starts the development server.

  ${packageManager === "yarn" ? "yarn" : packageManager === "pnpm" ? "pnpm" : packageManager === "bun" ? "bun" : "npm run"} build
    Builds the app for production.

  ${packageManager === "yarn" ? "yarn" : packageManager === "pnpm" ? "pnpm" : packageManager === "bun" ? "bun" : "npm run"} start
    Runs the built app in production mode.

We suggest that you begin by typing:

  cd ${projectName}
  ${packageManager === "yarn" ? "yarn" : packageManager === "pnpm" ? "pnpm" : packageManager === "bun" ? "bun" : "npm run"} dev

Happy hacking! ♥
