# Installation
|
|
|
|
Installation is very easy and only takes a few seconds.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
Please make sure your computer/server meets the following requirements:
|
|
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) >= 8: Node.js is a server platform which runs JavaScript. Installation guide [here](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
|
|
- [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/): MongoDB is a powerful document store. Installation guide [here](https://www.mongodb.com/download-center?j#community).
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Time to install Strapi!
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install strapi@alpha -g
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: if you encounter npm permissions issues, [change the permissions to npm default directory](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions#option-1-change-the-permission-to-npms-default-directory).
|
|
|
|
It takes about 20 seconds with a good Internet connection. You can take a coffee ☕️ if you have a slow one.
|
|
|
|

|
## Check installation
|
|
|
|
Once completed, please check that the installation went well, by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
strapi -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That should print `3.0.0-alpha.x`.
|
|
|
