Pulldown a local copy of the Github repository Netlify created for you, with the name you specified in the previous step

$ cd [REPO_NAME]
$ npm install
$ netlify dev # or ntl dev

This uses the new Netlify Dev CLI feature to serve any functions you have in the lambda folder.

To test the CMS locally, you'll need to run a production build of the site:

$ npm run build
$ netlify dev # or ntl dev

$ gatsby new [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME] https://github.com/netlify-templates/gatsby-starter-netlify-cms/
$ cd [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME]
$ npm run build
$ npm run serve

Follow the Netlify CMS Quick Start Guide to set up authentication, and hosting.

MacOS users might also encounter some errors, for more info check node-gyp. We recommend using the latest stable node version.
