FAQPage Schema

How do I scaffold a new VoltAgent project using TypeScript?▼

You can scaffold a VoltAgent project automatically by running npm create voltagent-app@latest, which uses CLI prompts to generate a ready-to-run TypeScript directory layout and configuration.

What is the best way to automate VoltAgent project bootstrapping for microservices?▼

Automated VoltAgent bootstrapping via the CLI generates a consistent, deploy-ready baseline configuration, preventing manual setup errors when initializing microservice architectures.

Do I need Node.js 20+ to create a VoltAgent application?▼

Yes, VoltAgent project bootstrapping requires Node.js 20+ and an API key for your model provider, while Git is optional for automatic repository initialization.

Can I manually configure a VoltAgent project instead of using CLI prompts?▼

Yes, VoltAgent bootstrapping provides an end-to-end manual setup path to tailor standard directories and configuration files to specific environments without relying on CLI prompts.

Why does my VoltAgent project bootstrap fail without a model provider API key?▼

VoltAgent project bootstrapping fails without an API key because the generated configuration requires model provider credentials to initialize the agent and enable development workflows.

Does VoltAgent scaffolding automatically initialize a Git repository?▼

VoltAgent scaffolding can automatically initialize a Git repository if Git is installed locally, though it remains an optional step during the project bootstrapping process.
