Installation

To install the latest stable release with npm via the command-line tool:

$ npm install strapi-cli -g

Depending on the permissions on your machine you might need to run the installation as an administrator using sudo:

$ sudo npm install strapi-cli -g

Verify the installation

Before creating a new project, let's verify the Strapi installation with:

$ strapi -v

If the command doesn't print a version but an error, the installation failed.

If you don't encounter any error you now are able to start using Strapi.

You can print out all strapi commands with:

$ strapi
