To start a new Helium based website from some boilerplate code, you can use this repo.

First create an empty folder for your project and navigate into it (eg)

$ cd Users/Me/CodeProject
$ mkdir HeliumTestProject
$ cd HeliumTestProject

Once you're in the project folder, initialize it for use with npm:

$ npm init --yes 

Then install helium-site-boilerplate

WARNING: You probably shouldn't install this if you already have a project started. It will add boilerplate files to your project in strange places.

$ npm install helium-site-boilerplate

The installation process will ask you about your preferred languages.
Typescript and Sass are recommended, but choose whatever you like.

Once the install is done, start bundling and serving with fusebox

$ node fuse.js

This will start a server which you can access at

http://localhost:4444
