Getting Started

Installation

There's nothing to install globally. Run Nextkit straight from your package manager's runner whenever you want to start a new project.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18.17 or newer. The CLI targets modern Node and the generated app uses Next.js 14.
  • A package manager: npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun.

Check your Node version:

$ node --version

Run the CLI

Pick your package manager and run the command below. It always pulls the latest version, so you never need to update a global install.

$ npx @mxrcxs17/next-kit@latest

You can also pass a project name directly as an argument to skip the first prompt:

$ npx @mxrcxs17/next-kit@latest my-app
Which runner?
Use the runner that matches your package manager — npx for npm, pnpm dlx for pnpm, yarn dlx for yarn, and bunx for bun. The CLI will also use your chosen manager to install the generated project's dependencies.

Once it's running, head to the Quickstart to walk through generating your first project.
