tsci init

tsci init bootstraps a fresh project in the current directory. It creates the basic files needed to start developing a board, including:

  • index.tsx – your main circuit entrypoint
  • package.json with the required dependencies
  • tsconfig.json
  • .gitignore and other configuration files

You can run the command interactively or pass -y to accept all defaults.

mkdir my-circuit
cd my-circuit
# Initialize with prompts
tsci init
# or skip prompts
tsci init -y

After initialization you will see a directory structure similar to the following:

my-circuit/
├─ index.tsx
├─ package.json
├─ tsconfig.json
└─ tscircuit.config.json
tsci init output
Terminal output from a successful tsci init

Next, run tsci dev to start the development server and view your circuit in the browser.
