Commands are now npx shadcn@latest init and npx shadcn@latest add button. The older shadcn-ui package still resolves and still runs, which is why stale tutorials keep working just well enough to be confusing.

What you lose by staying on the deprecated name is everything added in the 2.x CLI: Tailwind v4 support, React 19 handling, installing from a remote registry URL, and the monorepo aware workspace resolution.

If a project has a shadcn-ui dependency in package.json, it does not need to be installed at all. The CLI is meant to be run through npx and leaves no runtime dependency behind, so remove it and call the new name directly.
