To install KeystoneJS, open a new command prompt window and type the following command:

To create a new KeystoneJS project, navigate to the directory where you want to create the project, and run the following command:
yo keystone
This will start the KeystoneJS generator, which will guide you through the process of setting up a new project.
You will be prompted to choose a name for your project, as well as configure the database, authentication, and other options.
Once you have created your project, navigate to the project directory and run the following command:
npm start
This will start the KeystoneJS app.
You should now be able to access the app by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000
