# Quick Start

> Create and run your first RPGJS project in a few minutes.

# Quick Start

Use the starter, install dependencies, and launch the dev server:

```bash theme={null}
npx degit rpgjs/starter#v5 my-rpg-game
cd my-rpg-game
npm install
npm run dev
```

Open `http://localhost:5173`.

## Choose MMORPG or standalone RPG

By default, the starter runs as a standalone RPG. The server runs inside the
browser in this mode, so other players cannot connect to it over the internet.

Choose MMORPG mode explicitly when you want a separate authoritative server:

```bash theme={null}
RPG_TYPE=mmorpg npm run dev
```

On Windows, use `cross-env`:

```bash theme={null}
npm install --save-dev cross-env
npx cross-env RPG_TYPE=mmorpg npm run dev
```
