solana-mobile create - Solana Mobile Docs

Scaffold a new Solana Mobile project. Run it without arguments for interactive prompts, or pass a project name and template to skip them:

npx solana-mobile@latest create my-app

pnpm dlx solana-mobile@latest create my-app

bunx solana-mobile@latest create my-app

After scaffolding, the CLI initializes git, installs dependencies, and runs the template’s init script. Skip any of these with the --skip-* flags below.

Templates

List the available templates and their descriptions:

npx solana-mobile@latest create --list-templates

pnpm dlx solana-mobile@latest create --list-templates

bunx solana-mobile@latest create --list-templates

Pick one with --template:

npx solana-mobile@latest create my-app --template expo-kit-minimal

pnpm dlx solana-mobile@latest create my-app --template expo-kit-minimal

bunx solana-mobile@latest create my-app --template expo-kit-minimal

Options declared by the selected template are passed through as boolean long flags, e.g. create my-app --minimal --reset-project.
