After five months and hundreds of commits, you're finally invited to try out the SvelteKit beta. Starting a new project is easy:

# create the project
mkdir my-app
cd my-app
npm init svelte@next

# install dependencies
npm install

# start dev server and open a browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

You'll find documentation at kit.svelte.dev/docs. The source code is available at github.com/sveltejs/kit. Issues and pull requests are disabled while Svelte Team finishes getting all house in order, but they'll be making it fully open in the near future.

Details on easy deployment to Vercel, Netlify, Begin or as a node app or a static site at kit.svelte.dev/docs#adapters.

If you have a Sapper app that you'd like to migrate to SvelteKit, you'll find instructions at kit.svelte.dev/migrating.

You can find more details and the official Svelte Team and Rich Harris announcement at SvelteKit is in public beta.
