**Starting fresh?** Use [shadcn/create](/create) to configure a Vite project with custom themes, Base UI or Radix, and icon libraries.

</Callout>

<Steps>

### Create Project

Run the `init` command to create a new Vite project or to set up an existing one:

```bash
npx shadcn@latest init -t vite
```

**For a monorepo project, use `--monorepo` flag:**

```bash
npx shadcn@latest init -t vite --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:

```tsx {1,6} showLineNumbers title="src/App.tsx"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Button>Click me</Button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

</Steps>
