# Nestjs Installation

## Prerequisites

* [Nodejs 10 or above](https://docs.ionicfirebaseapp.com/flutter-grocery-app/nodejs-installtion)

## **Installation**

To get started, you can either scaffold the project with the [Nest CLI](https://docs.nestjs.com/cli/overview), or clone a starter project (both will produce the same outcome).

To scaffold the project with the Nest CLI, run the following commands. This will create a new project directory, and populate the directory with the initial core Nest files and supporting modules, creating a conventional base structure for your project. Creating a new project with the **Nest CLI** is recommended for first-time users. We'll continue with this approach in [First Steps](https://docs.nestjs.com/first-steps).

```
$ npm i -g @nestjs/cli
```
