You can also clone this repository manually.

Installation

To manually create a Nextra Docs site, you must install NextJS, React, Nextra V3 alpha and Nextra Docs Theme V3 alpha. In your project directory, run the following command to install the dependencies:

npm i next react react-dom nextra@alpha nextra-theme-docs@alpha

If you have NextJS installed in your project, you just need to install nextra nextra-theme-docs.

Add the following scripts package.json:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "next",
  "build": "next build",
  "start": "next start"
},

You can run the project using npm npm run dev, running in development mode or npm run build && npm run start production mode.

Add NextJS configuration

Create the next.config.js following file in the project root directory:

const withNextra = require('nextra')({
  theme: 'nextra-theme-docs',
  themeConfig: './theme.config.jsx',
});

module.exports = withNextra();

// If you have other Next.js configurations, you can pass them as parameters:
// module.exports = withNextra({ /* another next.js configuration */ })

With the above configuration, Nextra can process Markdown files in your NextJS project, with the theme specified. Other Nextra configurations can be found in the Guide.

Create Docs Theme configuration

Finally, create the theme.config.jsx corresponding file in the project root directory. This will be used to configure the Nextra Docs theme:

export default {
  logo: <span>Nextra Template</span>,
  project: {
    link: 'https://github.com/namnguyenthanhwork/nextra-personal-website-template',
  },
};

Full theme configuration can be found here.
