There are several ways to create a new Kedro project. This page explains the flow to create a basic project using `kedro new` to output a project directory containing the basic files and subdirectories that make up a Kedro project.

You can also create a new Kedro project with a starter that adds a set of code for a common project use case. [Starters are explained separately](../starters/starters.md) later in the documentation set and illustrated with the [spaceflights tutorial](../tutorial/tutorial_template.md).

The command line interface (CLI) first asks for a name for the project. This is the human-readable name, and it may contain alphanumeric symbols, spaces, underscores, and hyphens. It must be at least two characters long.

It's best to keep the name simple because the choice is set as the value of `project_name` and is also used to generate the folder and package names for the project automatically.
It's best to keep the name simple because the choice is set as the value of `project_name` and is also used to generate the folder and package names for the project automatically. For example, if you enter "Get Started", the folder for the project (`repo_name`) is automatically set to be `get-started`, and the Python package name (`python_package`) for the project is set to be `get_started`.

So, if you enter "Get Started", the folder for the project (`repo_name`) is automatically set to be `get-started`, and the Python package name (`python_package`) for the project is set to be `get_started`.

### Project tools

The command line interface then asks which tools you'd like to include in the project. The options are as follows and described in more detail above in the [documentation about the new project tools](../starters/new_project_tools.md).
Next, the CLI asks which tools you'd like to include in the project:

You can add one or more of the options, or follow the default and add none at all:
```text
Tools
1) Lint: Basic linting with Black and Ruff
2) Test: Basic testing with pytest
3) Log: Additional, environment-specific logging options
4) Docs: A Sphinx documentation setup
5) Data Folder: A folder structure for data management
6) PySpark: Configuration for working with PySpark
7) Kedro-Viz: Kedro's native visualisation tool
Which tools would you like to include in your project? [1-7/1,3/all/none]:
(none):
```

The options are described in more detail in the [documentation about the new project tools](../starters/new_project_tools.md).

Select the tools by number, or `all` or follow the default to add `none`.

* Linting: A basic linting setup with Black and ruff
* Testing: A basic testing setup with pytest
* Custom Logging: Additional logging options
* Documentation: Configuration for basic documentation built with Sphinx
* Data Structure: The [directory structure](../faq/faq.md#what-is-data-engineering-convention) for storing data locally
* PySpark: Setup and configuration for working with PySpark
* Kedro Viz: Kedro's native visualisation tool.

### Project examples

The CLI offers the option to include example pipelines. Your choice of tools determines which spaceflights starter example is provided. Here's a guide to understanding which starter examples are used based on your selections:
Finally, the CLI offers the option to include starter example code in the project:

* [Default Starter](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-starters/tree/main/spaceflights-pandas) (`spaceflights-pandas`): Used when you select any combination of Linting, Testing, Custom Logging, Documentation, and Data Structure, excluding PySpark and Kedro Viz.
* [PySpark Starter](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-starters/tree/main/spaceflights-pyspark) (`spaceflights-pyspark`): Chosen when PySpark is selected with any other tools, except Kedro Viz.
* [Kedro Viz Starter](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-starters/tree/main/spaceflights-pandas-viz) (`spaceflights-pandas-viz`): Applicable when Kedro Viz is part of your selection, with any other tools, excluding PySpark.
* [Full Feature Starter](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-starters/tree/main/spaceflights-pyspark-viz) (`spaceflights-pyspark-viz`): This example is used when you select all available tools, including PySpark and Kedro Viz.
```text
Would you like to include an example pipeline? :
(no):
```

If you say `yes`, the example code included depends upon your previous choice of tools, as follows:

* [Default spaceflights starter (`spaceflights-pandas`)](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-starters/tree/main/spaceflights-pandas): Added if you selected any combination of linting, testing, custom logging, documentation, and data structure, unless you also selected PySpark or Kedro Viz.
* [PySpark spaceflights starter (`spaceflights-pyspark`)](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-starters/tree/main/spaceflights-pyspark): Added if you selected PySpark with any other tools, unless you also selected Kedro Viz.
* [Kedro Viz spaceflights starter (`spaceflights-pandas-viz`)](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-starters/tree/main/spaceflights-pandas-viz): Added if Kedro Viz was one of your tools choices, unless you also selected PySpark.
* [Full feature spaceflights starter (`spaceflights-pyspark-viz`)](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-starters/tree/main/spaceflights-pyspark-viz): Added if you selected all available tools, including PySpark and Kedro Viz.

Each starter example is tailored to demonstrate the capabilities and integrations of the selected tools, offering a practical insight into how they can be utilised in your project.

### Quickstart examples

1. To create a default Kedro project called `My-Project` with no tools and no example code:

```text
kedro new ⮐
My-Project ⮐
none ⮐
no ⮐
```

You can also enter this in a single line as follows:

```bash
kedro new --name=My-Project --tools=none --example=n
```

2. To create a spaceflights project called `spaceflights` with Kedro Viz features and example code:

```text
kedro new ⮐
spaceflights ⮐
7 ⮐
yes ⮐
```

You can also enter this in a single line as follows:

```bash
kedro new --name=spaceflights --tools=viz --example=y
```

3. To create a project, called `testproject` containing linting, documentation, and PySpark, but no example code:

```text
kedro new ⮐
testproject ⮐
1,4,6 ⮐
no ⮐
```

You can also enter this in a single line as follows:

```bash
kedro new --name=testproject --tools=lint,docs,pyspark --example=n
```


## Run the new project

Whichever options you selected for tools and example code, once `kedro new` has completed, the next step is to navigate to the project folder (`cd <project-name>`) and install dependencies with `pip` as follows:
