- Confirm prerequisites and map the build12 min
TanStack Start scaffolds with a single CLI command regardless of which package manager runs it afterwards. Record the three basics below before running anything — every later step's commands read them back instead of asking again.
To do
npm, pnpm, yarn or Bun — the scaffolding CLI itself is run with `npx`, but this choice decides every install/build/start command shown later.
Run `node --version` and compare it against the minimum stated on the Getting Started page before continuing.
To note down
Which package manager will you use for this project?
What is the project/app name (used as the directory and package name)?
Run `node --version` and record the output.
