<Info>
  If looking to convert an existing web app into a mini app, see [Convert Web App to Mini App](/docs/convert-web-app-to-mini-app).
</Info>

This tutorial shows how to create a Farcaster mini app (previously known as Farcaster frames) with one simple command in less than 60s using the [Neynar Starter Kit](https://github.com/neynarxyz/create-farcaster-mini-app/).

Simply type `npx @neynar/create-farcaster-mini-app@latest` in any terminal window to get started with the template, or check out the [live demo of the Neynar Starter Kit](https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/Qmodl2Stf9qh/starter-kit) on Farcaster.

* package is open source ([github repo](https://github.com/neynarxyz/create-farcaster-mini-app))
* using neynar services is optional
* demo API key is included if you haven't subscribed yet

The flow:

* generates signature required by mini app spec on your behalf and puts in the farcaster manifest
* sets up splash image, CTA, etc. as part of workflow (incl. personalized share images, more on that below)
* spins up a localtunnel hosted url so you can debug immediately, no need to ngrok or cloudflare on your own
* if you use neynar:
  * automatically fetches user data
  * automatically sets sets up [notifications and analytics](/docs/send-notifications-to-mini-app-users) (just put in your client id from the dev portal)

<Info>
  If you want to sign in users with a Farcaster signer into your mini app, use

  * [Mini app auth](/docs/mini-app-authentication) if you want a built in next.js frontend.
  * [Neynar Managed Signers](/docs/integrate-managed-signers) when building your own frontend.

### Appendix

A great way to make your mini app go viral is to give your users personalized share images / urls that they can share on their social media timelines. Our starter kit makes it easy. Simply add `/share/[fid]` at the end of your mini app domain to create a personalized share image for that user e.g. `[your_url].[extension]/share/[fid]` should create an embed image like below:
