Be able to specify on installation starter project and install directory using command flags

[omenking]

When you first install SST it attempts to create a project and you get prompted with inputs

npm install sst

This is what I would perfer:

I install sst globally

npm install sst -g

Then I create a project with command flags:

sst create my-project --directory . --starter typescript

Why no creating on first install?

I don't think this is a normal behaviour of most frameworks, you normally install a tool, and that tool then is used to generate project.

The input prompts also limit the ability of programmatic workflows, so there needs to be ways to enter command flags.

Why globally install?

Most other tools do this approach?

Why command flags?

Its less error prone during instructional (tutorials, workshops) to give folks a single command with flags than hope they enter the right things into a prompt.
