Build a Preact App with Authentication
In this tutorial, you’ll build a basic Preact application with a couple of pages and user authentication using the Okta Sign-In Widget.

Hi Lee, I thought I’d just try this out but I get an error response. It looks like the tute may have been built for a previous version, or perhaps I need to install some dependencies?
$ preact create okta-preact-example 
WARN Insufficient command arguments! Prompting…
INFO Alternatively, run preact create --help for usage info.
? Directory to create the app
Further attempts still complain:
$ preact create okta-preact-example okta-preact-example INFO Assuming you meant preactjs-templates/okta-preact-example…
ERROR Could not find repository: preactjs-templates/okta-preact-example

Hey Anil:
Yeah, there are some pretty significant changes to the preact-cli since this article was written. To get this article to work, just change two things:
* Change the command to preact create default okta-preact-example
* no need to install preact-router (it’s in the default template already)
Other than that everything seemed to work for me.

Yeah, that got it going, thanks.
