**Starting a new project?** Use [shadcn/create](/create) for a fully configured Astro app with custom themes, Base UI or Radix, and icon libraries.
### Create project
Start by creating a new Astro project:
```bash
npx shadcn@latest init -t astro
```
**For a monorepo project, use `--monorepo` flag:**
```bash
npx shadcn@latest init -t astro --monorepo
```
### Add Components
You can now start adding components to your project.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add button
```
The command above will add the `Button` component to your project. You can then import it like this:
```astro title="src/pages/index.astro" {2,16} showLineNumbers
---
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
