🚧 Release Candidate
This is pre-release software. While we're providing migrations between versions, changes may occur at any time, and certain features might be missing or broken. You can follow along with the issue tracker for an in-depth list of upcoming enhancements.
⚙️ Installation
Create a new Directus project by running the following npm command:
npx create-directus-project my-project
Or, using yarn:
yarn create directus-project my-project
Simply follow the setup prompts and the CLI will create your new project directory (eg: my-project), configuration
file, and initial database. To get the most out of Directus, and to ensure you have the latest security patches, it is
important to keep your projects up-to-date.
🚀 One-Click Deployments
If you would like to completely avoid the manual installation process, the following self-hosted one-click apps will handle the heavy-lifting for you. While Directus is always completely free, you will likely need to pay for these services.
