You can also add the --empty flag to start with an empty world:
npx create-hdk@latest --emptyNavigate into your project folder
cd my-worldInstall the project
npm installThe update-by-scope command is an easy way to update all @hiber3d packages to their latest version: npx update-by-scope "@hiber3d"
Start it up
npm run devThis will open a new browser window where you can experience the starter template world.
