# 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 ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
