Strapi Development mode issue

Question

I am new to strapi and want to start it on development mode. Below are steps I have followed so far

git clone [email protected]:strapi/strapi.git
cd strapi
npm run setup

but then while generating a project somewhere else using the development mode: i am getting error on running below command as

'strapi' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

strapi new myDevProject --dev

any help? I have uninstalled strapi global as documentation pointed. Anything I am missing. Do I need to install non global version of strapi in the same directory.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can install Strapi globally in your machine using npm without the need of pulling the repo manually:

npm install -g strapi@beta

Restart your terminal, then run:

strapi new [project_name] --quickstart

Then your project will start automatically :)

Answer 2

Putting npx before strapi will resolve this issue . So instead of strapi develop , run following command:

npx strapi develop
