1. Check you have what it needs: A computer with Node.js and npm, since the README uses npx commands (inferred); A Twenty workspace to publish to, from twenty.com or a self-hosted instance; Docker, if you plan to self-host with Docker Compose.
2. Open twentyhq/twenty on GitHub and read the README and license.
3. Run npx create-twenty-app my-app to scaffold a new app.
4. In the new project, define an object with defineObject from 'twenty-sdk/define', using nameSingular 'deal', fields for name (TEXT), amount (CURRENCY), and closeDate (DATE_TIME).
5. Run npx twenty app:publish --private to ship the app to your workspace.
6. Open the workspace and confirm the Deal object and its fields appear.

These steps come from our top use case, Define a custom CRM object as code and publish it, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
