installation Installation

The easiest way to install Docusaurus is to use the command line tool that helps you scaffold a Docusaurus site skeleton. You can run this command anywhere in a new empty repository or within an existing repository, it will create a new directory containing the scaffolded files.

npx @docusaurus/core@next init [name] [template]

If you do not specify name or template, it will prompt you for the missing inputs. We recommend the classic template so that you can get started quickly. The classic template comes with standard documentation, blog and custom pages features.

Project Structure

Assuming you chose the classic template and named your site my-website, you will see the following files generated under a new directory my-website/:

my-website
├── docs
│   ├── doc1.md
│   ├── doc2.md
│   ├── doc3.md
│   └── mdx.md
├── blog

├── sidebars.json

Running the Development Server

cd my-website
