bash
npm install --save-dev prisma@7
npm install @prisma/client@7
npx prisma init --datasource-provider sqlite📌 Prisma 7 requires Node.js 20.19, 22.12, or 24 and newer compatible releases
💡 prisma is the CLI and @prisma/client is the generated query client
🔍 prisma init creates the schema, config, and environment files
⚠️ Direct database connections require the matching driver adapter in Prisma 7
