Quick Start

1. Create a new site

You can create a new site using the Statamic CLI:

statamic new your-site statamic/starter-kit-doogie-browser

Or you can install manually into a fresh Statamic installation by running:

php please starter-kit:install statamic/starter-kit-doogie-browser --clear-site

2. Make a new user

The above installers should prompt you to make a user, but you can also run php please make:user. You'll want it to be a super so you have access to everything.

3. Recompile the CSS and JS (optional)

This starter kit comes with precompiled CSS and JS. If you want to modify anything, just recompile it.

npm i && npm run dev

To compile for production again:

npm run build

4. Do your thing!

If you're using Laravel Herd (or similar), your site should be available at http://your-site.test. You can access the control panel at http://your-site.test/cp and login with your new user. Open up the source code, follow along with the Statamic docs, and enjoy!
