| ## How to use | |
| Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) to bootstrap the example: | |
| ```bash | |
| npx create-next-app --example cms-tina cms-tina-app | |
| ``` | |
| ```bash | |
| yarn create next-app --example cms-tina cms-tina-app | |
| ``` | |
| ```bash | |
| pnpm create next-app --example cms-tina cms-tina-app | |
| ``` | |
| ### Setp 1. Run Next.js in development mode | |
| To get started, no configuration is needed for local development and editing. | |
| ```bash | |
| npm install | |
| npm run tina-dev | |
| # or | |
| yarn install | |
| yarn tina-dev | |
| ``` | |
| Your blog should be up and running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)! If it doesn't work, post on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions). | |
| ### Step 2. Editing blog posts. | |
| Tina is git backed and uses markdown, JSON or MDX to power websites. To enter edit mode locally you just need to visit [http://localhost:3000/admin](http://localhost:3000/admin) | |
| You can then select the collection "Blog Posts" and then the content you would like to edit. | |
| Once you hit save, Tina will use our graphQL modify the content on your filesystem. | |
| ### Step 4. Deploy on Vercel | |
| You can deploy this app to the cloud with [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example) ([Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment)). | |
| #### Deploy Your Local Project | |
| To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub. Once you have pushed to GitHub, sign up for your Tina Cloud account at [https://app.tina.io/register](https://app.tina.io/register). Then follow the steps below: | |
| 1. Select new project | |
| 2. Select Import your site | |
| 3. Follow steps to connect your GitHub repo. | |
| 4. Copy your Client ID | |
| Then [import to Vercel](https://vercel.com/import/git?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example). | |
| **Important**: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on **Environment Variables** and set NEXT_PUBLIC_TINA_CLIENT_ID to the client ID above. | |
| Once you have successfully deployed to Vercel, go back to your Tina dashboard and under the project configuration enter the url in the Site URL(s) for example: https://cms-tina-example.vercel.app/ | |
