Will it work on Linux?

Yes, start a project on Linux

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

Your system

macOS Windows Linux

Start here

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
