You can install the package globally or use it directly via npx.

Option 1: Use with npx

Usage

Creating a New App

To create a new application, run the following command:

npx create-mkx-app my-app

or (if installed globally):

create-mkx-app my-app

This will create a new directory called my-app in your current working directory, containing the pre-configured project files.
