Introduction

Docusaurus is a project for building, deploying, and maintaining open source project websites easily.

Tip: use docusaurus.new to test Docusaurus immediately in a playground.

Simple to Start

Docusaurus is built in a way so that it can get running in as little time as possible. We've built Docusaurus to handle the website build process so you can focus on your project.

Localizable

Docusaurus ships with localization support via CrowdIn. Empower and grow your international community by translating your documentation.

Customizable

While Docusaurus ships with the key pages and sections you need to get started, including a home page, a docs section, a blog, and additional support pages, it is also customizable as well to ensure you have a site that is uniquely yours.

Installation

The easiest way to install Docusaurus is to use the command line tool that helps you scaffold a skeleton Docusaurus website. You can run this command anywhere in a new empty repository or within an existing repository, it will create a new directory containing the scaffolded files.

npx create-docusaurus@latest my-website classic

We recommend the classic template so that you can get started quickly, and it contains features found in Docusaurus 1. The classic template contains _@docusaurus/preset-classic_ which includes standard documentation, a blog, custom pages, and a CSS framework (with dark mode support). You can get up and running extremely quickly with the classic template and customize things later on when you have gained more familiarity with Docusaurus.

You can also use the template's TypeScript variant by passing the --typescript flag. See TypeScript support for more information.

npx create-docusaurus@latest my-website classic --typescript

If you are setting up a new Docusaurus website for a Facebook open source project, use the facebook template instead, which comes with some useful Facebook-specific defaults:

npx create-docusaurus@latest my-website facebook

You can also initialize a new project using your preferred project manager:

use npm package manager

npm init docusaurus

use yarn package manager

yarn create docusaurus

use npm package manager

pnpm create docusaurus

Run npx create-docusaurus@latest --help, or check out its API docs for more information about all available flags.

Read the docs for any further information.
