Installation:

Since Sapper is deprecated, it is recommended to install and use SvelteKit instead. However, if you still want to install Sapper, you can follow the steps below:

  1. First, make sure you have Node.js installed on your system.
  2. Open the terminal and run the following command to install Sapper globally:
npm install -g sapper
  1. Once the installation is complete, you can create a new Sapper project by running the following command in your desired directory:
npx degit "sveltejs/sapper-template#rollup" my-sapper-app
  1. Change into the newly created directory:
cd my-sapper-app
  1. Install the project dependencies:
npm install
  1. Finally, start the local development server:
npm run dev

This will launch your Sapper application on a local server, and you can access it in your browser at http://localhost:5000.

Please note that it is recommended to migrate to SvelteKit for new projects and to receive continued updates and support.
