Installation

Prerequisites

Grundgesetz is built on top of Gatsby. To run all the tools required you need at least the following:

• Node.js (8.0.0+)
• Yarn (Optional. You can still use npm if you want, but this is for your own sanity.)

Initializing the Project

The Fast Way

You can now create a new repository with Grundgesetz included by going to the GitHub page clicking on the “Use this template” button on the top right.

This will take you to the Create Repository screen. Fill in the details of your projects, and click “Create repository from template”.

Once the repository is created, you can clone the repository and open your terminal in the repository’s folder. Once you’re there, install the dependencies by running yarn (or npm install, if you prefer to use npm).

Using Gatsby CLI

Alternatively, you can bootstrap your project using gatsby-cli. To install it, run the following command.

# npm
npm install -g gatsby-cli
# yarn
yarn global add gatsby-cli

Now we have gatsby-cli installed, we can now create a project based on the Grundgesetz skeleton by running:

gatsby new project-name https://github.com/kata-ai/grundgesetz-skeleton

The project is generated in the folder with the project-name you specified. In the next section, we will start writing our documentation on-the-fly with the development server.
