Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

create-electron-vite (CLI)
✓ npm create electron-vite@latest
✗ npm install create-electron-vite && npm create electron-vite
Use npx or npm create to avoid global install. The package is not intended to be imported.
Scaffold via Yarn
✓ yarn create electron-vite my-project
✗ yarn add create-electron-vite && yarn create electron-vite
Yarn create invokes the package automatically.
Scaffold via PNPM
✓ pnpm create electron-vite my-project
✗ pnpm add create-electron-vite && pnpm create electron-vite
PNPM create works similarly to npm.

Creates a new Electron+Vite project, installs dependencies, and starts development server with HMR.

npm create electron-vite@latest my-electron-app cd my-electron-app npm install npm run dev
create-electron-vite --version
