Getting Started

Check your development environment! You'll need Node.js, the Gatsby CLI and node-gyp installed. The official Gatsby website also lists two articles regarding this topic:

To copy and install this starter run this command (with "project-name" being the name of your folder you wish to install it in):

gatsby new project-name https://github.com/LekoArts/gatsby-starter-minimal-blog
cd project-name
npm run develop

You can add other features by having a look at the official plugins page

Building your site
