+Docusaurus is published as an npm package that can be installed via `npm` or `yarn`. Here is how you publish the package to npm:
+
+## Log in to npm
+
+Publishing will only work if you are logged into npm with an account with admin rights to the package.
+
+If you are not currently logged into npm locally:
+
+1. `npm adduser`
+1. Enter username, password and associated email address
+
+## Publish
+
+1. Bump version number in `package.json`
+2. `npm publish`
+
+### What version should you use?
+
+The version number should generally increase by some factor than the current one. You can check current version by looking in `package.json`.
+
