This guide will walk you through creating your Tauri app using the Qwik web framework. Learn more about Qwik at https://qwik.dev.

## Checklist

- Use [SSG](https://qwik.dev/docs/guides/static-site-generation/). Tauri doesn't support server-based solutions.
- Use `dist/` as `frontendDist` in `tauri.conf.json`.

## Example Configuration

<Steps>

1.  ##### Create a new Qwik app

    <CommandTabs
      npm={`npm create qwik@latest
    cd <PROJECT>`}
      yarn={`yarn create qwik@latest
    cd <PROJECT>`}
      pnpm={`pnpm create qwik@latest
    cd <PROJECT>`}
      deno={`deno run -A npm:create-qwik@latest
    cd <PROJECT>`}
    />

1.  ##### Install the `static adapter`

    <CommandTabs
      npm="npm run qwik add static"
      yarn="yarn qwik add static"
      pnpm="pnpm qwik add static"
      deno="deno task qwik add static"
    />

1.  ##### Add the Tauri CLI to your project

    <CommandTabs
      npm="npm install -D @tauri-apps/cli@latest"
      yarn="yarn add -D @tauri-apps/cli@latest"
      pnpm="pnpm add -D @tauri-apps/cli@latest"
      deno="deno add -D npm:@tauri-apps/cli@latest"
    />

1.  ##### Initiate a new Tauri project

    <CommandTabs
      npm="npm run tauri init"
      yarn="yarn tauri init"
      pnpm="pnpm tauri init"
      deno="deno task tauri init"
