From the CLI

Use the CLI when you want Prisma Next and Prisma Postgres set up without leaving the terminal.

Start a new app

bunx create-prisma@next

Choose PostgreSQL and Prisma Postgres when prompted.

Setup provisions Prisma Postgres, writes DATABASE_URL, adds prisma-next.md, installs project-level Prisma Next skills for your coding agent, and writes the generated scripts used below.

Initialize the database

From the generated project directory, run:

bun run db:init

Seed data

bun run db:seed

Run the app

bun run dev

Add Prisma Next to an existing app

If the app already exists, run Prisma Next from the project root:

bunx prisma-next init

Choose PostgreSQL, set DATABASE_URL to your Prisma Postgres connection string, and let init add prisma-next.md, package scripts, and the Prisma Next skills for your coding agent. Then follow the PostgreSQL existing-project guide.

Import an existing database

• Use Import from PostgreSQL when your source database is PostgreSQL.
• Use Import from MySQL when your source database is MySQL.
