Sling CMS is the open source governed AI CMS. Describe a page, get widgets you govern, a template, and a unique URL.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or greater
• MongoDB (self-host only). If you have none, the installer starts it in Docker. No Docker? Install Docker Desktop, install Mongo locally, or paste a free Atlas URI.
• A Gemini API key from Google AI Studio (self-host Create)

Quick start

npx create-sling-app my-site

or

yarn create sling-app my-site

Do not run npm i create-sling-app. That installs a library; it does not scaffold a project.

Hosted Studio

Picks the hosted option, clones the storefront, and points at studio.sling.biz. Paste keys from Settings after signup.

Self-hosted Studio

Picks self-hosted. Clones Studio, API, and the storefront. You bring MongoDB and a Gemini key. Create is unlimited on your box (GENERATE_DAILY_LIMIT=0).

Sign up in Studio, then open the storefront. One company is picked automatically. A second company: paste that company’s key from Settings → Keys into sling-fe/.env and restart.

Open:

• Create: http://localhost:2021/create
• API: http://localhost:10001
• Storefront: http://localhost:4087
