To get started with the VaultBase template, follow these steps:

1. Install the template globally:

   npm install -g create-vault

2. Initialize the project:

   create-vault

2. Subsequent Use

For future projects, you can quickly set up a new VaultBase project by running:

npx create-vault@latest

This version provides a cleaner breakdown with headings and clear instructions for both first-time and subsequent uses.
