📦 Create a New Project

Make sure that Node.js >= 16 and dfx >= 0.14 are installed on your system.

Run the following commands in a new, empty project directory:

npx degit rvanasa/vite-react-motoko # Download this starter project
dfx start --clean --background # Run dfx in the background
npm run setup # Install packages, deploy canisters, and generate type bindings

npm start # Start the development server

When ready, run dfx deploy --network ic to deploy your application to the Internet Computer.
