Folder structure

After creation, your project should look like this:

├── 📁 node_modules
├── 📄 package.json
└── 📄 README.md

Looks empty, isn't it? Well, that is because we haven't installed Magento 2 yet.

To install Magento 2 you need to bootstrap the project with start command.

After Magento 2 installation folder structure should look

├── 📁 app
├── 📁 bin
├── 📁 dev
├── 📁 generated
├── 📁 lib
├── 📁 node_modules
