The Strapi project creation process has been simplified by introducing the create-strapi-app CLI package, which replaces the step of installing Strapi globally. This new method allows for a faster installation and eliminates issues with added dependencies and versioning across different projects. With this change, users can now install Strapi without prior installations using a single command, such as `yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart`. The recommended approach is to use either `yarn` or `npx` to create new projects, which automatically installs the latest version of Strapi and its necessary files. This change aims to improve project management, reduce conflicts with older projects, and provide a more streamlined experience for developers.
