The Next.js Starter storefront provides rich commerce features and a sleek design. Developers and businesses can use it as-is or as a starting point to build a storefront for their Medusa application.
The Medusa application is made up of a Node.js server and an admin dashboard. The storefront is installed and hosted separately from the Medusa application. You have the flexibility to choose the frontend tech stack that you and your team are proficient in, and implement unique design systems and user experience.
Our Next.js Starter is a good place to start building your storefront. The Next.js Starter storefront provides rich commerce features and a sleek design. Developers and businesses can use it as-is or build on top of it to tailor it for the business's unique use case, design, and customer experience.
## Installation
### Approach 1: Install with Medusa Application
<Prerequisites items={[
{
text: "Node.js v20+",
link: "https://nodejs.org/en/download"
},
{
text: "Git CLI tool",
link: "https://git-scm.com/downloads"
},
{

link: "https://www.postgresql.org/download/"
}
]} />
If you don't have a Medusa application installed, run the following command to install both the Medusa application and the Next.js Starter storefront:
```bash
npx create-medusa-app@latest --with-nextjs-starter
```
You'll be asked for the project's name, then the installation will start. The Medusa application will be installed in the `{project-name}` directory, and the Next.js will be installed in a separate `{project-name}-storefront` directory.
Once the installation is done, the Medusa Admin dashboard will open in your default browser at `http://localhost:9000/app`, and the Next.js Starter storefront will be running at `http://localhost:8000`.
For other information related to the Medusa application's installation, refer to [this documentation](!docs!/learn/installation).
### Approach 2: Install separately

## Change Medusa Publishable API Key
All requests made from a storefront must pass a publishable API key in the request's header. This API key is created in the Medusa application. If you've installed the Next.js Starter storefront using `create-medusa-app`, the publishable API key is set in the environment variables automatically.
If you change your Medusa application or its database, or you lose the publishable API key you had before, make sure to change the `NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` environment variable to the new publishable API key:
```bash
NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_123...
```
