Installing Astro/AstroPaper

Installing Astro using the AstroPaper theme couldn’t be easier than running this command in your terminal:

npm create astro@latest -- --template satnaing/astro-paper

If you open up the generated project you can immediately see that this theme is well thought out. The posts in the content directory explain all the basic things you need to know to start using it right away. To be honest, I haven’t read it all but as you can see I felt comfortable writing blog posts and that is what I wanted out of this system.

Tweaking it and making it more my own will come later, I want to focus on getting some content out there but I’m excited to learn more of the capabilities of Astro and this cool theme fo sho! — And of course, I’ll write about that 😉
