## Create a new Node.js app project
To create a new Node.js project, type `shopify create node`. This will scaffold a new Node.js app in a subdirectory.
```console
$ shopify create node
? App Name
>
```
## Start a local development server
Once your app is created, you can work with it immediately by running `shopify serve` to start a local development server. Shopify App CLI uses [ngrok](https://ngrok.com) to create a tunnel. ngrok will choose a unique URL for you. The server will stay open until you type **Ctrl-C**.
```console
$ shopify serve
✓ ngrok tunnel running at https://example.ngrok.io
✓ writing .env file...
```
## Install your app on your development store
With the server running, open a new terminal window and run `shopify open` to open your app in your browser and install it on a development store.
```console
$ shopify open
```
