create-nola

Short alias of create-nola-lang:

npm create nola                                       # prompts for a name and a template
npm create nola my-app -- --template extract-resume   # non-interactive
npm create nola -- --add                              # add Nola to an existing project

npm create nola and npm create nola-lang run the same scaffolder with the same flags — this package only forwards to create-nola-lang, which holds the templates and the interactive flow (also reused by nola init).

Any package manager works the same way — the printed next steps follow the one that ran it:

pnpm create nola my-app
yarn create nola my-app
bun create nola my-app

The scaffolded project installs and runs under npm, pnpm, yarn (classic and berry, PnP included) and bun. Bun and Deno work as package managers, not as the runtime: bun run start is fine (the nola bin runs on Node), bun --bun / bun src/main.ts cannot load .tsi — Node ≥ 22.18 executes the code.

Nola is a TypeScript superset (.tsi) for writing LLM-backed functions: nola-lang/nola.
