To install Svelte on your machine, you can follow these steps:
- Start by ensuring that you have Node.js installed on your computer. You can download and install Node.js from the official website (https://nodejs.org/).
- Once Node.js is installed, open your terminal or command prompt.
- Use the package manager of Node.js, npm, to install the Svelte template by running the following command:
1
|
npx degit sveltejs/template svelte-app
|
This command will pull the Svelte template files from the GitHub repository and create a new directory named "svelte-app" on your machine.
- Navigate into the newly created directory using the following command:
1
|
cd svelte-app
|
- Now, install the necessary dependencies for the Svelte project by running the following command:
1
|
npm install
|
This will download and install all the required packages and libraries needed by Svelte.
- Once the installation of dependencies is completed, you can now launch the development server by running the following command:
1
|
npm run dev
|
This command will start the server and the Svelte application will be available on your local machine at http://localhost:5000.
- You can now open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000 to see your Svelte application running.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Svelte and set up a new Svelte project on your machine. Now, you can start coding and building amazing web applications using the Svelte framework.
