# Legacy Wix CLI for Apps Command Reference

<blockquote class="warning">

**Deprecated**

The Legacy Wix CLI for Apps is deprecated and no longer receives updates or new features. New projects should use the [Wix CLI for Apps](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/about-the-wix-cli-for-apps.md).

- To find out which structure a project uses, see [Determine Which CLI Your Project Uses](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/project-development/determine-which-cli-your-project-uses.md).
- To migrate an existing app to the new Wix CLI, see [Migrate a Legacy CLI App to the New Wix CLI](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/migrate-an-app-to-the-new-cli/migrate-an-app-from-the-legacy-cli/migrate-a-legacy-cli-app-to-the-new-wix-cli.md).

</blockquote>

This reference documents the commands of the Legacy Wix CLI for Apps, which you use to maintain existing [Wix apps](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/get-started/overview/about-wix-apps.md) built with it.

## Project creation commands

This command is provided by the [`@wix/create-app`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wix/create-app) package, so it runs through `npm create`, not as a `wix` command.

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| [npm create @wix/app](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/command-reference/project-creation-commands/create-app.md) | Deprecated. You can no longer create projects with this command. To create a project, use [`npm create @wix/new app`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/command-reference/project-creation-commands/create-app.md). |

## Project commands

These commands operate on an existing Legacy Wix CLI for Apps project. Run them from your project directory.

| [create-version](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/command-reference/project-commands/create-version.md) | Deprecated. Use [release](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/command-reference/project-commands/release.md) instead. |

### Command syntax

Project commands follow this general form:

```bash

```

Angle brackets mark a required part, and square brackets mark an optional part. Don't type the brackets.
