Feedback from a non JS person

Thank you for the feedback, @Roger. It’s really precious.

I’m Pierre, Lead Technical Writer at Strapi.
We would rethink this installation page, and most notably move the “CLI installation options” further down as it creates confusion.

You actually don’t have to go to the CLI reference page to install Strapi, or to run a project.

  1. Creating a project is done with “create-strapi-app”
    The syntax actually differs between npm and yarn, which are 2 different JavaScript packages manager :sweat_smile:.
    On top of that, you can add different flags to adapt the installation behavior.

  2. Running a project is done with “develop”.
    But the exact syntax, again, depends on the package manager (npm or yarn), or if you decided to install the strapi package globally or locally.

The JS ecosystem can be pretty harsh indeed, and we’ll do our best to make devs life easier, so if you have other useful feedback, please keep it coming. Thank you! :blush:

Your feedback was also passed on to the engineering team.
