npm create astro@latest -- --template minimal
🧑🚀 Seasoned astronaut? Delete this file. Have fun!
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
/
├── public/
├── src/
│ └── pages/
│ └── index.astro
└── package.json
Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
| Command | Action |

npm install |

npm run dev |
Starts local dev server at localhost:3000 |
npm run build |
