  2. Neo Installation - Adds and configures the Neo package
  3. Template Setup - Applies your chosen template structure
  4. Dependencies - Installs all required packages
  5. Code Generation - Runs build runners for generated code

Usage Patterns

​
Interactive vs Flag-Based

Interactive Mode (recommended for beginners):
  • Guides you through each step
  • Validates input in real-time
  • Uses your configured defaults
  • Perfect for learning and occasional use
Flag-Based Mode (recommended for advanced users):
  • Skip prompts for faster execution
  • Override defaults when needed
  • Ideal for automation and scripts
  • Consistent with CI/CD workflows
