Demo

The website created by this repo is built from the gatsby-hello-world starter, which has the bare essentials needed for a Gatsby site.

The website is deployed on fuzzy-month.surge.sh.

Installation

Prerequisites

You need to have Node.js and npm installed. You can install both npm and Node by installing Node since npm is distributed with Node. You can use a Node.js version manager like NVM to switch Node versions between projects.

If you want to use Gatsby's command line tool, you need to install it.

npm install --global gatsby-cli

Install project

In the terminal, move to the directory you want this repo to be in.

cd parentDirectoryPath

If you have git installed, clone this repo. You can also download this repo by clicking on the green "Clone or download" button.

git clone https://github.com/eunicode/gatsby-tut-1.git

Install dependencies

npm install

Running in development

If you have Gatsby's command line tool installed, you can run the command gatsby develop, and Gatsby will start a hot-reloading development environment accessible at localhost:8000.

You can see more CLI commands in the docs.
