# nebula create

Create a new nebula visualization.

## Usage

```bash
nebula create <name>
```

## Example

Create a nebula visualization project and do not install any dependencies yet

```bash
nebula create sn-table --install false
```

Create a nebula visualization project called `sn-table` with the `npm` package manager
instead of yarn

```bash
nebula create sn-table --pkgm npm
```

Create a nebula visualization project without a
[picasso.js](https://qlik.dev/extend/set-up-nebula-environment/create-viz-picasso/get-started) template.

```bash
nebula create sn-table --picasso none
```
