Hi Rohit,

Start by installing the Gatsby program:

npm install --global gatsby-cli

Then to initiate your new project, cd into the directory where you want to create your project folder, then run:

gatsby new NameOfYourApp UrlToStarter

You then want to cd into your new project and run this:

cd NameOfYourApp
gatsby develop

This will start your dev server, and you can now start changing your files :)

Hope that helps,

Jonas
