We recommend to use the latest version of Strapi to start your new project. Some breaking changes might happen, new releases are shipped every two weeks to fix/enhance the product.

🏗 Create a new project

strapi new my-project

It will generate a brand new project with the default features (authentication, permissions, content management, content type builder & file upload).

🚀 Start your project

cd my-project
strapi start

Congratulations, you made it! Enjoy 🎉

Try on Heroku

You can also give it a try using Heroku in one click!

Be aware that one of the content type builder won't work due to the writing files restriction on the Heroku servers. If you do want to change content types, you need to follow these steps:

1. Click the button above and deploy your app
2. Clone that repo by using heroku git:clone -a followed by your repo's name
3. Go into the cloned projects' folder using cd followed by your repo's name
4. Add the Heroku boilerplate as a remote by running git remote add boilerplate https://github.com/strapi/strapi-heroku-app
5. Pull from this new origin by running git pull boilerplate master
