## Prerequisites

- A React Bricks account
- Node.js 22 or later installed
- A code editor

## Create the project

```bash
# With pnpm
pnpm create reactbricks-app@latest

# With npm
npm create reactbricks-app@latest

# With yarn
yarn create reactbricks-app@latest
```

The CLI will run you through:

- logging into your account
- choosing a project name
- selecting a starter template
- selecting the React framework (Next.js or Astro)

In a couple of minutes your project will be ready to run.

## Run the project

```bash
cd your-project-folder
npm run dev
```

## See it in action

- Next.js → http://localhost:3000
- Astro → http://localhost:4321

## Open the visual editor

Open the visual editor at `/admin`.

From there you can visually edit your pages, composing content with reusable bricks (React components).
