A filesystem-based web framework for Luau runtimes, with out-of-the-box support for Lute, Lune and Zune.

Getting Started

The fastest way to get a Nova project running is by using our scaffolding tool, but you can also set things up manually if you prefer.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following installed:

• A Luau Runtime: Lune, Zune, or Lute.
• A Package Manager: We recommend pesde.

Option 1: Using the CLI

We created a CLI tool that handles all the boilerplate for you. It sets up your folders, configures your package manager, and creates sample routes automatically.

Open your terminal and run:

# Scaffold into the current directory
pesde x nova/create -- .

or

# Scaffold into a new named directory. Replace 'my-app' with whatever you want to name your project
pesde x nova/create -- my-app
