Scaffolding a Strapi project

Starting a new Strapi backend project is very easy and works precisely like installing a new framework using the CLI tool.

We will scaffold a full-blown backend application by running any of these simple commands and testing it in our default browser:

  ```bash
npx create-Strapi-app strapi-pinterest-api --quickstart
    # OR
yarn create straps-app strapi-pinterest-api --quickstart
```

The preceding command scaffolds a new Strapi API into the specified folder. Next, run the following command to build and deploy your newly created backend API with Strapi:

```bash
npm run build
npm run deploy
```

These preceding two commands should build your app and deploy it so you can easily test it out by typing the following URL (localhost:) in your default browser if it doesn’t open automatically.

Most importantly, the last command will also open a new tab with a page to register your new admin user of the system...
