Create a new project

Creating a new SimplCMS project is straightforward.

Quick Start

Open your terminal and run the following command:

npx simplcms@latest create-app

This command creates a new Next.js project with SimplCMS installed and pre-configured.

Configure Environment Variables

You have two options for configuring your environment variables:

1. Manual Setup

Create a .env file in your project's root folder and fill it in according to the prerequisites guide.

2. Configuration Wizard

SimplCMS provides a convenient setup wizard accessible at:

http://localhost:3000/admin/setup

This wizard will guide you through the process of setting up your environment variables interactively.

Run the Development Server

To start the development server locally, navigate to your project directory and execute:

npm run dev

Your SimplCMS project should now be running locally and accessible at:

http://localhost:3000
