Initialize a SolidStart app with `create-solid`. You can specify the `--solidstart` flag to create a SolidStart project, and `--ts` for TypeScript support. When prompted for a template, select `basic` for a minimal starter app.

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun create solid my-app --solidstart --ts
```

```txt

As instructed by the `create-solid` CLI, install the dependencies.

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
cd my-app
bun install
```

Then run the development server with `bun dev`.

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun dev
```

```txt
$ vinxi dev

  ➜ Local:    http://localhost:3000/
  ➜ Network:  use --host to expose
```

Open [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). Any changes you make to `src/routes/index.tsx` will be hot-reloaded automatically.
