npm run dev should start the dev server with a page that hot reloads when you make changes in the App.svelte. You selected Svelte and not Sveltekit?

I just went through it and there's an important step of changing into the directory created by `npm create ...` (named `my-svelte-app` in the example above) and then running `npm install` inside that directory.

Can confirm it works for me with npm version 8.5.5, node v15.15.0, on a macbook air with an Intel processor.

    npm create vite@latest my-svelte-app -- --template svelt
    cd my-svelte-app/
    npm install
    npm run dev

Started up the dev server, made a change in the App.svelte, and could see it reflected in the browser immediately.
