<Admonition type="note">
If you get stuck while working through this guide, you can find the [full example on GitHub](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/master/examples/user-management/svelte-user-management).
</Admonition>
<$Partial path="project_setup.mdx" variables={{ "framework": "sveltekit", "tab": "frameworks" }} />
## Building the app
Start building the Svelte app from scratch.
### Initialize a Svelte app
You can use the Vite Svelte TypeScript Template to initialize an app called `supabase-svelte`:
```bash
npm create vite@latest supabase-svelte -- --template svelte-ts
cd supabase-svelte
npm install
```
Install the only additional dependency: [supabase-js](https://github.com/supabase/supabase-js)
```bash
npm install @supabase/supabase-js
```
Finally, save the environment variables in a `.env`.
All you need are the API URL and the key that you copied [earlier](#get-api-details).
<$CodeTabs>
```bash name=.env
VITE_SUPABASE_URL=YOUR_SUPABASE_URL
VITE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=YOUR_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
```
</$CodeTabs>
Now you have the API credentials in place, create a helper file to initialize the Supabase client. These variables will be exposed on the browser, and that's fine since you have [Row Level Security](/docs/guides/auth#row-level-security) enabled on the Database.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/svelte-user-management/src/supabaseClient.ts"
meta="name=src/supabaseClient.ts"
/>
### App styling (optional)
Optionally, update the CSS file `src/app.css` to make the app look better.
You can find the full contents of this file [in the example repository](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/supabase/supabase/master/examples/user-management/svelte-user-management/src/app.css).
### Set up a login component
Set up a Svelte component to manage logins and sign ups. It uses Magic Links, so users can sign in with their email without using passwords.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/svelte-user-management/src/lib/Auth.svelte"
meta="name=src/lib/Auth.svelte"
/>
### Account page
After a user is signed in, allow them to edit their profile details and manage their account.
Create a new component for that called `Account.svelte`.
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/svelte-user-management/src/lib/Account.svelte"
lines={[[1, 4], [6, 79], [81, -1]]}
meta="src/lib/Account.svelte"
/>
## Profile photos
Next, add a way for users to upload a profile photo. Supabase configures every project with [Storage](/docs/guides/storage) for managing large files like photos and videos.
### Create an upload widget
Start by creating a new component:
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/svelte-user-management/src/lib/Avatar.svelte"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/lib/Avatar.svelte"
/>
### Update the account component
With the Avatar component created, update `src/lib/Account.svelte` to include it:
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/svelte-user-management/src/lib/Account.svelte"
lines={[[1, -1]]}
meta="name=src/lib/Account.svelte"
/>
### Launch!
With all the components in place, update `App.svelte`:
<$CodeSample
path="/user-management/svelte-user-management/src/App.svelte"
meta="name=src/App.svelte"
/>
Once that's done, run this in a terminal window:
```bash
npm run dev
```
And then open the browser to [localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173) and you should see the completed app.
<Admonition type="tip">
Svelte uses Vite and the default port is `5173`, Supabase uses `port 3000`. To change the redirection port for Supabase go to: **Authentication > URL Configuration** and change the **Site URL** to `http://localhost:5173/`

At this stage you have a fully functional application!
