Tutorial Intro

Let's discover Pristine in less than 5 minutes.

Getting Started​

Get started by creating a new site.

Or try Pristine immediately with Pristine.new.

What you'll need​

  • Node.js version 18.0 or above:
    • When installing Node.js, you are recommended to check all checkboxes related to dependencies.

Generate a new site​

Generate a new Pristine site using the classic template.

The classic template will automatically be added to your project after you run the command:

npm init pristine@latest my-website

You can type this command into Command Prompt, Powershell, Terminal, or any other integrated terminal of your code editor.

The command also installs all necessary dependencies you need to run Pristine.

Start your site​

Run the development server:

cd my-website
npm run start

The cd command changes the directory you're working with. In order to work with your newly created Pristine site, you'll need to navigate the terminal there.

The npm run start command builds your website locally and serves it through a development server, ready for you to view at http://localhost:5173/.
