#### Pick your app

The examples below will be updated with your app ID.

Once you know the basics of Instant, you may find it useful to be able to quickly scaffold a new Instant project. We built `create-instant-app` to do just that.

We currently offer templates for Next.js, Vite + React, Expo, and Vanilla Typescript. Follow the quick start below to give it a spin!

## Quick start

If you haven't already, authenticate with the [Instant CLI](/content/docs/cli/index.html) in your terminal.

```shell
npx instant-cli login
```

This will open a browser window where you can log in or sign up for an account. Once you've authenticated, any app you create with `create-instant-app` will be associated with your Instant account!

After authenticating you run the following command to scaffold a new Instant app.

```shell
npx create-instant-app instant-demo
```

Run the dev server to see your new app in action!

```shell
cd instant-demo
npm run dev
```

Huzzah! 🎉 You now have a brand new Instant project to play around with!

## One-shot with Claude Code

Got Claude Code? You can use it to one-shot a full-stack Instant app!

Use `create-instant-app` with the `--ai` flag and you'll be prompted to describe the app you want to build. Give it a try!

```shell
npx create-instant-app --ai
```

You can think of this as a one-shot app builder in the terminal.
