Make sure you have met the [minimum requirements](%base_url%/install/requirements) then install Raneto:

**Note:** It is recommended to create a new Git repository to store your documentation files and then install Raneto as a dependency into it. See the [example directory](https://github.com/ryanlelek/Raneto/tree/main/example) to see how this is done.

1. Switch to your existing or new project directory.
2. Add Raneto to your project via NPM's package.json file or downloading the latest version from the [releases page](https://github.com/ryanlelek/Raneto/releases)
3. In a terminal, run `npm install` to install the node dependencies
4. To start Raneto, run `npm start` (or `npm run start_win` on Windows)
5. Visit `http://localhost:3000` in your web browser

You can now start [creating pages](%base_url%/usage/creating-pages).

**NOTE:** See the [Production Notes](%base_url%/install/production-notes) when installing for a live site.
