⚙️ Installation
Create a new Directus project by running the following npm command:

Simply follow the setup prompts and the CLI will create your new project directory (eg: my-project), configuration
file, and initial database. To get the most out of Directus, and to ensure you have the latest security patches, it is
important to keep your projects up-to-date.
