Will it work on macOS?

Yes, start a project on macOS

It's a framework: you start a new project with it (npm create prisma) instead of installing an app.

Your system

macOS Windows Linux

Website ↗prisma.ioThe project's own site.

Also: Docs ↗

Heads-upBuilding it yourself? It also needs PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and 3 settings in .env.

Start a new project with it

Creates a fresh project folder set up with this framework. Run it where you keep your code, not inside this repo.

Start a new project

npm create prisma

Good to know

Monorepo (workspaces) — install from the repo root.
Tool versions pinned in .tool-versions — mise install (or asdf install) installs them all.
Has AGENTS.md — instructions for coding agents. You can open Claude Code (or another agent) in the cloned folder and ask it to do the setup for you.
Nested projects: apps/lsp-playground/package.json, apps/telemetry-backend/package.json, examples/bundle-size/package.json, examples/bundle-size/src/mongo/package.json and 11 more
