Nothing installs globally. Your package manager runs the CLI on demand and Node.js 20 or newer is the only requirement. No terminal handy? The [Stack Builder](/new) composes, previews, and runs projects in the browser.

## Where to go

After the first scaffold, three commands cover most of the work. `add` changes the selected stack, `update` refreshes templates under review, and `check` verifies the project builds. [Project Lifecycle](/docs/getting-started/lifecycle/) maps every command to the moment you need it.
