# Install WordPressify > Install WordPressify from NPM or from the GitHub repository. Source: https://wordpressify.co/install-wordpressify > For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://wordpressify.co/llms.txt). # Install WordPressify Requires Node.js 12.20 or later. Docker must be installed and running before running WordPressify. Create a new directory for your project and scaffold it: ```bash mkdir my-theme && cd my-theme npx wordpressify ``` This copies the full file structure into your directory. There is no `npm install` step: dependencies are installed inside the Docker containers when they are first built. To skip the confirmation prompt, use the `-y` (or `--non-interactive`) flag: ```bash npx wordpressify -y ``` Clone the repository from GitHub: ```bash git clone https://github.com/luangjokaj/wordpressify cd wordpressify ``` Replace the root `package.json` with the one from the installer directory, then install dependencies: ```bash cp ./installer/package.json ./package.json npm install ``` The installer's `package.json` contains the correct scripts and dependencies for development. The root one is for publishing the npm package. ## Update an Existing Project To update the core WordPressify files (Docker, build pipeline, configs) without touching your `src/` folder or dependencies: ```bash npx wordpressify update ``` This overwrites infrastructure files like `docker-compose.yml`, `gulpfile.js`, Dockerfiles, and linting configs. It also updates the `scripts` section in your `package.json` while preserving your dependencies. To skip the confirmation prompt, use the `-y` (or `--non-interactive`) flag: ```bash npx wordpressify update -y ``` Set up your theme name and start the dev server.
