Create Nextjs CMS

The best and official way to create a nextjs-cms project with all the necessary configuration and dependencies.

Installation

You can create a new cms project interactively by running:

npx create-nextjs-cms
# or
yarn create nextjs-cms
# or
pnpm create nextjs-cms
# or
bun create nextjs-cms

Project Structure

After running create-nextjs-cms, you'll have a fully configured nextjs-cms project with:

• ✅ Next.js application setup
• ✅ CMS configuration files
• ✅ Database configuration
• ✅ TypeScript configuration
• ✅ All necessary dependencies
• ✅ Example sections and fields
• ✅ Development scripts

Next Steps

After creating your project:

cd my-cms-app
pnpm dev 

Then visit http://localhost:3000 to see your CMS in action!

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• A package manager (pnpm, npm, yarn, or bun)

Troubleshooting

Directory already exists

If you try to create a project in a directory that already exists, you'll get an error. Either:

• Choose a different directory name
• Use . to create in the current directory (must be empty)

Installation fails

If automatic dependency installation fails, you can manually install:

cd my-cms-app
pnpm install 

Template not found

If you see an error about the template directory not being found, ensure you're using the published version of the package from npm, not a local development version.
