# Project creation

In this section, we will create the base structure for the project using Nest.

First of all, let's create the project. Nest will scaffold it for us.

```sh
nest n conrod-backend
```

{% hint style="info" %}
The package manager used throughout the course is **Yarn**, but feel free to choose whichever you prefer.
{% endhint %}

Then, after entering its directory, we can run it.

```sh
yarn start
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember to set git credentials

* git config user.name **name**
* git config user.email **email**
  {% endhint %}
