Replace my-app with the desired name of your project folder. This will prompt you with a few questions regarding your project configurations. You can change these values later on.

1. Installation Type : You will be asked to choose an installation type:

   Options	Description
   1	Quick Installation: This will create an auto-generated .env file on your project root with default configuration parameters.
   2	Manual Installation: You can configure the database connection and other values from the CLI terminal. You can change these values later.

If you choose Manual Installation, the terminal will ask you the following questions:
