Getting Started

Let's create a new Nitro app in few steps.

Make sure you have installed the recommended setup:

Create a new project using starter template:

npx

npx giget@latest nitro nitro-app

cd nitro-app

Install the dependencies:

npm

npm install

Start the development server:

npm run dev

🪄 Your API is ready at http://localhost:3000/

Check .nitro/dev/index.mjs if want to know what is happening

Build your production-ready server:

npm run build

Output is in the .output directory and ready to be deployed on almost any provider with no dependencies.

You can try it locally with:

npm run preview

Nightly Release Channel

Nitro offers a nightly release channel that automatically releases for every commit to main branch.

You can opt-in to the nightly release channel by updating your package.json:

Nitro

{
  "devDependencies": {
--    "nitropack": "^2.0.0"
++    "nitropack": "npm:nitropack-nightly@latest"
  }
}

If you are using Nuxt, use the Nuxt nightly channel as it already includes nitropack-nightly.

Remove the lockfile (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, or bun.lockb) and reinstall the dependencies.
