The command line interface (CLI), sv, is a toolkit for creating and maintaining Svelte applications.

Usage

The easiest way to run sv is with npx (or the equivalent command if you’re using a different package manager — for example, pnpx if you’re using pnpm):

npx sv <command> <args>

If you’re inside a project where sv is already installed, this will use the local installation, otherwise it will download the latest version and run it without installing it, which is particularly useful for sv create.

Acknowledgements

Thank you to Christopher Brown who originally owned the sv name on npm for graciously allowing it to be used for the Svelte CLI. You can find the original sv package at @chbrown/sv.
