| To **bootstrap a new Prisma ORM project with a Prisma Postgres database**, run the following command in your terminal: | ||
|
|
||
| ```terminal | ||
| npx prisma init --db | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Once you ran this command, the terminal will output instructions for you to [follow the steps on this page](/getting-started/prisma-postgres/from-the-cli) in order to set up your first project with Prisma Postgres. | ||
| After running this command, the terminal will guide you with next steps. Follow [this page](/getting-started/prisma-postgres/from-the-cli) to complete the setup for your first Prisma Postgres project. | ||
|
|
||
| If you only need a **Prisma Postgres connection string** (without creating a full project), use: | ||
|
|
||
| ```terminal | ||
| npx create-db@latest | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| You can learn more about `npx create-db` in [the dedicated documentation](/postgres/introduction/npx-create-db). |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would separate these two more clearly, probably by putting a heading above each.
I think right now it's too easy to think that users should run these two commands sequentially but that's not the case. (I know from myself that when I click on "Getting started" buttons, I often just skim for the "actions" I should take and copy/paste without reading much. If I did that, I'd run both commands).
Maybe smth like:
## Option A: Set up Prisma Postgres with Prisma ORM
... init --db
## Option B: Only create a Prisma Postgres DB (no auth required)
... create-db
