# CLI Use the CLI to add components to your project. ## init Use the `init` command to initialize dependencies for a new project. The `init` command installs dependencies, adds the `cn` util, and creates CSS variables for the project. ```bash pnpm dlx shadcn-svelte@latest init ``` ```bash npx shadcn-svelte@latest init ``` ```bash bun x shadcn-svelte@latest init ``` You will be asked a few questions to configure `components.json`: ```txt Which base color would you like to use? Slate Where is your global CSS file? (this file will be overwritten) src/app.css Configure the import alias for lib: $lib Configure the import alias for components: $lib/components Configure the import alias for utils: $lib/utils Configure the import alias for hooks: $lib/hooks Configure the import alias for ui: $lib/components/ui ``` ### Options ```txt Usage: shadcn-svelte init [options] initialize your project and install dependencies Options: -c, --cwd the working directory (default: the current directory) -o, --overwrite overwrite existing files (default: false) --no-deps disable adding & installing dependencies --base-color the base color for the components (choices: "slate", "gray", "zinc", "neutral", "stone") --css path to the global CSS file --components-alias import alias for components --lib-alias import alias for lib --utils-alias import alias for utils --hooks-alias import alias for hooks --ui-alias import alias for ui --proxy fetch items from registry using a proxy -h, --help display help for command ``` ## add Use the `add` command to add components and dependencies to your project. ```bash pnpm dlx shadcn-svelte@latest add [component] ``` ```bash npx shadcn-svelte@latest add [component] ``` ```bash bun x shadcn-svelte@latest add [component] ``` You will be presented with a list of components to choose from: ```txt Which components would you like to add?

If the `HTTP_PROXY` or `http_proxy` environment variables have been set, the request library underneath will respect the proxy settings. ```bash HTTP_PROXY="" npx shadcn-svelte@latest init ```
