15## 🚀 Project Structure
16
17Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
18
19```text
20/
21├── public/
22│ └── favicon.svg
23├── src/
24│ ├── components/
25│ │ └── Card.astro
26│ ├── layouts/
27│ │ └── Layout.astro
28│ └── pages/
29│ └── index.astro
30└── package.json
31```
32
33Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
34
35There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
36
37Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
38
39## 🧞 Commands
40
41All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
42
43| Command | Action |
44| :------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------- |
45| `npm install` | Installs dependencies |
46| `npm run dev` | Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321` |
