⚙️ Installation
Directus requires NodeJS 10+
We've created a little CLI tool you can use to quickly start up a Directus project. You can use it by running:
npx create-directus-project my-project
or using yarn:
yarn create directus-project my-project
on the command line. This will create the given directory, setup the configuration, and install the database.
