Initialize a site project

How to initialize a site from scratch

Written by eWizard Team

Use eWizard CLI to create a site project from a scaffolding template.

1) Log in to your eWizard instance by following the instructions in the Login section.

2) Go to a directory where you want to initialize your site project.

For example, create the my-site directory and then:

cd my-site

3) Initialize your project.

wiz init

4) Select the site template, which is option number 8.


TIP: To skip the template selection step, you can initialize the site template with
wiz init site. For more options, see eWizard CLI commands.


5) Select if you want to use ESLint.

6) Enter the project description, name, and author.


TIP: You can just press Enter to select the default values.


The site project is initialized with the default template.

7) Build your site project and serve it on a local server as a static site.

wiz dev --live

eWizard CLI starts a hot-reloading development server at http://localhost:3000/


TIP: The --live option tracks the changes and continuously builds the site project.

See eWizard CLI commands for a complete list of commands with options.
