Create an Element Project

Let's see how to start an element project:

1. First, create a directory for your element project. Here the directory name is my-element.

2. Navigate to that directory.

3. Initialize your element. Polymer CLI asks you a few questions as it sets up your element project.

4. Select element

5. Enter a name for your element. Here the name of my element is "my-first-element".

6. Enter the description of your element.

Now, Polymer CLI will generate files and directories for your element, and will install your project's dependencies. You can see in the following image:

7. Now your setup is completed.
