# Get started

To start a new project using this starter kit, go to the template's github repo and click on "**Use this template**" button.

Or, if you're more of a *terminal person*, simply run the following command in your terminal:

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```sh
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/inclinedadarsh/nextjs-starter.git your-project-name
```

{% endcode %}

Now the above command will clone the template locally. You can start using it. Run the following command to install all the dependencies:

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```sh
cd your-project-name
bun install
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
This template is 100% based on [Bun](https://bun.sh/). To use this template, you need to install Bun.
{% endhint %}

To install Bun, checkout their [installation guide](https://bun.sh/docs/installation) or use the following command.

```bash
npm install -g bun
```

If you're not familiar with `bun`, don't worry. Simply replace `npm` with `bun` and replace `npx` with `bunx` in all your commands and you're good to go.

To run the development server, use the following command:

```bash
bun run dev
```
