Run a pre-configured projectBeta
This article will show you how to get a pre-configured boiler plate project running so you can test all our features fast.
Before you start - Node Version
For this project to work correctly, you will need to have at least version 12.16.1 of node installed on your machine. You can check this by running the node -v command in your terminal.
Node.js is used to power most modern Javascript frameworks to help you build websites fast and easily. Using Node.js, you can work with Javascript outside the browser. NPM (Node Package Manager) is used to install the various node dependencies used to power the Slice Machine. Luckily this installation process is something that is very well documented already.
So we'll allow William Vincent and his slick tutorials to take you through the process.
So now we'll install the Prismic CLI (command line interface), if you haven't already. This tool will allow you to interact with Prismic from your local machine for things like creating repositories. To install it globally run the following command.
- npm
- Yarn
npm install -g prismic-cli
yarn global add prismic-cli
Sometimes it's possible that a global -g command like this doesn't work because of permission levels on your machine.
If that's the case for you, try executing the sudo command below:
- npm
- Yarn
sudo npm install -g prismic-cli
sudo yarn global add prismic-cli
CLI Version
You will need to make sure you're using the latest version of the CLI, which you can check on npm. (Check your version by running prismic --version).
After installing the CLI you should be able to create a Prismic account by running the following command:
prismic signup
After making sure that you have the correct version of the CLI, you can log in to Prismic by running the following command.
prismic login
The Prismic command is now available globally. We will now use that tool to launch this boiler plate project. In the terminal, navigate to the location you want to launch your project and run the following command. This command should configure your project, create a new Prismic repo for you and install all the node modules.
