Strapi is a free and open source headless CMS delivering your content anywhere you need.

• Keep control over your data. With Strapi, you know where your data is stored, and you keep full control at all times.
• Self hosted. You can host and scale Strapi projects the way you want. You can choose any hosting platform you want: AWS, Netlify, Heroku, a VPS, or a dedicated server. You can scale as you grow, 100% independent.
• Database agnostic. You can choose the database you prefer. Strapi works with SQL & NoSQL databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite.
• Customizable. You can quickly build your logic by fully customizing APIs, routes, or plugins to fit your needs perfectly.

Getting Started

⏳ Installation

Install Strapi with this Quickstart command to create a Strapi project instantly:

yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart

or

• (Use npm/npx to install the Strapi project.)

npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart

This command generates a brand new project with the default features (authentication, permissions, content management, content type builder & file upload). The Quickstart command installs Strapi using a SQLite database which is used for prototyping in development.
