3. Position yourself in the project directory: cd cursor-template
4. Run wasp db start to start the Postgres database.
5. In a new terminal, run wasp db migrate-dev to migrate the database.

How it works with Cursor

We've included a .cursorrules file that provides context to the Cursor AI so that it can help you build your Wasp app. Make sure Cursor can access this file by going to preferences > cursor settings > general > include .cursorrules file.

The .cursorrules file is our attempt at fixing the common mistakes the AI assistants make while building a Wasp full-stack app, but if you find that the AI is still making mistakes, you can try to add more context to the .cursorrules file, or within the Cursor settings.

Also, make sure you have the Wasp docs indexed in Cursor. You can do this by going to preferences > cursor settings > features > add new doc . Then, you can include them in Cursor chat by using the @docs keyword. This often improves the AI's ability to help you with Wasp-specific code.
