Quartz is a fast, batteries-included static-site generator that transforms Markdown content into fully functional websites. Thousands of students, developers, and teachers are [[showcase|already using Quartz]] to publish personal notes, wikis, and [digital gardens](https://jzhao.xyz/posts/networked-thought/) to the web.
|
|
|
|
## 🪴 Get Started
|
|
|
|
Quartz requires **at least [Node](https://nodejs.org/) v18.14** to function correctly. Ensure you have this installed on your machine before continuing.
|
|
|
|
Then, in your terminal of choice, enter the following commands line by line:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz.git
|
|
cd quartz
|
|
git checkout v4-alpha
|
|
npm i
|
|
npx quartz create
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through initializing your Quartz with content. Once you've done so, see how to:
