## With npx

npx is the easiest way to use vowel:

```
npx -p svelte@next -p feist@latest npx feist
```

Vowel will attempt to generate a website based on the contents of your file.

## With npm

Create a directory. Then, open that directory and run these commands in your terminal:

```bash
npm init --y && npm i feist svelte@next
```

Edit your `package.json` to add these `scripts`:

```json
{
	"dev": "feist",
	"build": "feist build"
}
```

Now run `npm run dev`.

## Starter files

Create `home.md` and enter some basic information

```md
# Your website

Lorem ipsum...
```

Create `settings.md` and enter some basic information in the frontmatter:

```

breadcrumb: Home
domain: https://example.com
