**Note:** We just released a new `shadcn` CLI. See the [changelog](/docs/changelog) for more information.

## init
Use the `init` command to initialize configuration and dependencies for a new project.
The `init` command installs dependencies, adds the `cn` util, configures `tailwind.config.js`, and CSS variables for the project.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest init
```
You will be asked a few questions to configure `components.json`:
```txt showLineNumbers
Which style would you like to use? New York
Which color would you like to use as base color? Zinc
Do you want to use CSS variables for colors? no / yes
```
### Options
```txt
Usage: shadcn init [options] [components...]

Arguments:
components the components to add or a url to the component.
Options:
-d, --defaults use default values i.e new-york, zinc and css variables. (default: false)
-f, --force force overwrite of existing components.json. (default: false)
-y, --yes skip confirmation prompt. (default: false)
-c, --cwd <cwd> the working directory. defaults to the current directory.
-h, --help display help for command
```
## add
Use the `add` command to add components and dependencies to your project.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add [component]
```
You will be presented with a list of components to choose from:
```txt

## build
Use the `build` command to generate the registry JSON files.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest build

This command reads the `registry.json` file and generates the registry JSON files in the `public/r` directory.
```txt
Usage: shadcn build [options] [registry]
build components for a shadcn registry
Arguments:
registry path to registry.json file (default: "./registry.json")
Options:

"/Users/shadcn/Code/shadcn/ui/packages/shadcn")
-h, --help display help for command
```
To customize the output directory, use the `--output` option.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest build --output ./public/registry
```
