Quick Start

To spin up this example locally, follow these steps:

Clone

If you have not done so already, you need to have standalone copy of this repo on your machine. If you've already cloned this repo, skip to Development.

Method 1 (recommended)

Go to Payload Cloud and clone this template. This will create a new repository on your GitHub account with this template's code which you can then clone to your own machine.

Method 2

Use the create-payload-app CLI to clone this template directly to your machine:

1npx create-payload-app@latest my-project -t website

Method 3

Use the git CLI to clone this template directly to your machine:

1git clone -n --depth=1 --filter=tree:0 https://github.com/payloadcms/payload my-project && cd my-project && git sparse-checkout set --no-cone templates/website && git checkout && rm -rf .git && git init && git add . && git mv -f templates/website/{.,}* . && git add . && git commit -m "Initial commit"

Development

1. First clone the repo if you have not done so already
2. cd my-project && cp .env.example .env to copy the example environment variables
3. yarn && yarn dev to install dependencies and start the dev server
4. open http://localhost:3000 to open the app in your browser

That's it! Changes made in ./src will be reflected in your app. Follow the on-screen instructions to login and create your first admin user. Then check out Production once you're ready to build and serve your app, and Deployment when you're ready to go live.
