Create your first page

How to build the most simple page in Lume

The page file

After setup Lume (see installation instructions if you don't have the _config.ts), the installer automatically creates the index.md file with some content in Markdown format, for example:

# Hello world

[Go to Lume documentation](https://lume.land)

Build and open the page

Run npm run serve in your terminal. This task does two things:

  • It builds your site. The index.md file is compiled and exported as index.html in the folder _site.
  • Starts a local web server, so you can see the generated site in your browser. Open the url http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to see the page.

Tip

The web server also includes live-reloading. If you edit the index.md file, the browser is reloaded automatically to see the new changes.

Congratulations, you have created your first page with Lume! 🎉
