# meteor create

> Create a new Meteor project

The `meteor create` command creates a new Meteor application or package.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
meteor create [options] <path>
meteor create --example <example-name> [path]
meteor create --from <git-url> [path]
meteor create --list
meteor create --package [package-name]
```

## Creating Applications

Create a new Meteor app in the specified directory:

```bash theme={null}
meteor create my-app
```

You can pass an absolute path, relative path, or `.` for the current directory.

### App Templates

Meteor provides several starter templates:

```bash theme={null}
# React (default)
meteor create my-app --react

# TypeScript with React
meteor create my-app --typescript

# Vue 3
meteor create my-app --vue

# Svelte
meteor create my-app --svelte

# Blaze
meteor create my-app --blaze

# Apollo
meteor create my-app --apollo

# Solid
meteor create my-app --solid

# Angular
meteor create my-app --angular
```

### Minimal Templates

```bash theme={null}
# Empty app
meteor create my-app --bare

# App with minimal packages
meteor create my-app --minimal

# Fully scaffolded app
meteor create my-app --full
```

### UI Framework Templates

```bash theme={null}
# React with Tailwind CSS
meteor create my-app --tailwind

# React with Chakra UI
meteor create my-app --chakra-ui
```

### Other Templates

```bash theme={null}
# React with Babel
meteor create my-app --babel

# CoffeeScript
meteor create my-app --coffeescript
```

## Creating from Examples

List available example applications:

```bash theme={null}
meteor create --list
```

Create a project from an example:

```bash theme={null}
meteor create my-app --example <example-name>
```

## Creating from Git Repository

Clone a Meteor project from a Git URL:

```bash theme={null}
meteor create my-app --from https://github.com/user/repo
```

## Creating Packages

Create a new Meteor package:

```bash theme={null}
meteor create --package [package-name]
```

If you're in an app, the package will be created in the app's top-level `packages` directory. Otherwise, it will be created in the current directory.
