outstanding. If you've been waiting to dive in, now's the time!

Quick Start Guide

If you don't even plan on reading the docs (you should though, please read them), here's how to get started. First, install Statamic via composer in your command line.

composer create-project statamic/statamic my-site --prefer-dist --stability=dev

Then cd into that project and make your first user...

php please make:user

And then get busy reading the docs! 😁

The words at the bottom of the post

We hope you love Statamic 3 as much as us, and even more than v2. We're ready and waiting for your feedback. And make sure to star the GitHub repos. Show us and the rest of the internet your excitement!
