To create a Strapi project, run `npx create-strapi-app my-project` and follow the tutorial to add a user, test an authenticated user, implement a refresh token feature, and configure the backend services. The frontend application is built using Vue.js and consumes the Strapi APIs with Vuex, Router, and Lint/Formatter. The application includes a login page, dashboard interface, modal for expired tokens, and API calls to refresh the token. After implementing the system, users can log in, access their dashboard, and request a new token if the current one expires.
