Requirements

Doks uses npm to install site dependencies and run build scripts. Installing npm is pretty simple. Download and install Node.js (it includes npm) for your platform.

Start a new Doks project

Create a new site, change directories, install npm packages, and start development server.

Create a new site

git clone https://github.com/h-enk/doks.git my-doks-site

Change directories

cd my-doks-site

Install npm packages
