Installation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher
  • npm or bun

Global Installation

Install Minuto globally to use the CLI from anywhere:

npm install -g minuto

Using npx (Recommended)

No installation needed - use npx to run Minuto commands directly:

npx minuto init my-site

Project Setup

After creating a new project:

# Navigate to your project
cd my-site

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start development server
npm run dev

Verification

Verify the installation:

minuto --version

Troubleshooting

Permission Issues

If you encounter permission errors during global installation:

# Use npx instead (no installation required)
npx minuto init my-site

# Or fix npm permissions
mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

Node Version

Check your Node.js version:

node --version

If you need to upgrade, visit nodejs.org or use a version manager like nvm.
