**Starting a new project?** Use [shadcn/create](/create) for a fully configured TanStack Start app with custom themes, Base UI or Radix, and icon libraries.

</Callout>

<Steps>

### Create project

Run the following command to create a new TanStack Start project with shadcn/ui:

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

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

```bash
npx shadcn@latest init -t tanstack --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 title="app/routes/index.tsx" showLineNumbers {1,6}
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

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