- If you use npm, run:
npm i -g gatsby-cli - If you use yarn, run:
yarn global add gatsby-cli - Check if Gatsby CLI is installed correctly by running:
gatsby -v
Note: It does not need to have the exact same version as shown in a screenshot.
If it's not working, please open an issue on my repository or refer to an official documentation.
Run the following:

gatsby develop-
Your site is now running at
http://localhost:8000 -
GraphQL is accessible at
http://localhost:8000/___graphql. You can use this tool to experiment with querying your data.
If you can access your site on that link, then congratulations, you got it working! 🎉
With the power of gatsby develop everything will be automatically updated on save.
If it's not working, please open an issue on my repository.

/node_modules: This directory contains all the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed. -
/src: This directory will contain all the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as your site header or a page template.srcis a convention for “source code”. -
.gitignore: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for. -
.prettierrc: This is a configuration file for Prettier. Prettier is a tool to help keep the formatting of your code consistent. -
gatsby-browser.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby browser APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting the browser. -
gatsby-config.js: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. (Check out the config docs for more detail). -
gatsby-node.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby Node APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting pieces of the site build process. -
gatsby-ssr.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby server-side rendering APIs (if any). These allow customization of default Gatsby settings affecting server-side rendering. -
LICENSE: This Gatsby starter is licensed under the 0BSD license. This means that you can see this file as a placeholder and replace it with your own license. -
package-lock.json(Seepackage.jsonbelow, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You won’t change this file directly). -
package.json: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc.) This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project. -
README.md: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.
