Getting Started

Installation

Scaffold a new GioJS app in seconds, or add it to an existing project.

Create a new app

The fastest way to start is the interactive scaffolder. It asks for a project name and lets you pick TypeScript or JavaScript with an arrow-key prompt.

bash

npm create giojs@latest

Then start the dev server:

bash

cd my-app
npm install
npm run dev

GioJS needs Node 18+ and ships a prebuilt Rust binary for your platform — there is nothing to compile.

System requirements

Node.js 18 or newer
Linux x64/arm64, macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon), or Windows x64
No Rust toolchain required — the server binary is installed from npm
