Cloud · Try live demo · Strapi 5 (coming soon)
Strapi Community Edition is a free and open-source headless CMS enabling you to manage any content, anywhere.
Read the Getting Started tutorial or follow the steps below:
Install Strapi with this Quickstart command to create a Strapi project instantly:
yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart
or
npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart
This command generates a brand new project with the default features (authentication, permissions, content management, content type builder & file upload). The Quickstart command installs Strapi using a SQLite database which is used for prototyping in development.
Enjoy 🎉
Complete installation requirements can be found in the documentation under Installation Requirements.
