+Create a complete project, install its dependencies, and start the preview:
+
+```sh
+npx purestack@latest init my-site --install --yes
+cd my-site
+yarn dev

+The `starter` template creates a small site. You can select it directly with

+run `init` alone to configure and create a site in the local PureStack wizard.
+Studio shows progress, starts the live site, and stays open until you finish.
+Use `--yes` to create a site directly without opening Studio.
+Installation is opt-in with `--install`.
+Each project includes `README.md` and
