We'll start with the basics of creating a new Strapi project, naming the project API, and setting up the project to use an SQLite database.
Instructor: [0:00] To start a new Strapi project, in our terminal -- we are in our modern-cms folder -- we'll type in the command npx create-strapi-app @latest and click Enter. We'll name our Strapi project api and choose the --quickstart option, which gives us a SQL-like database.
[0:19] Our Strapi app opens up in a new tab. Now we need to create an admin user, give our admin user a first name, a last name, an email address. We'll set a password, and we'll confirm our password. Now we're in our Strapi dashboard.
[0:45] That is how you create and start a new Strapi project.
