# Build an app with SolidStart and Bun

Initialize a SolidStart app with `create-solid`. You can specify the `--solidstart` flag to create a SolidStart project, and `--ts` for TypeScript support. When prompted for a template, select `basic` for a minimal starter app.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
bun create solid my-app --solidstart --ts
```

```txt  theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
┌

◇  To get started, run: ─╮
│                        │
│  cd my-app             │
│  bun install           │
│  bun dev               │
│                        │
├────────────────────────╯
```

***

As instructed by the `create-solid` CLI, install the dependencies.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
cd my-app
bun install
```

Then run the development server with `bun dev`.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
bun dev
```

```txt  theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
$ vinxi dev
vinxi v0.5.8
vinxi starting dev server

  ➜ Local:    http://localhost:3000/
  ➜ Network:  use --host to expose
```

Open [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). Any changes you make to `src/routes/index.tsx` will be hot-reloaded automatically.
