# Getting Started
This section will help you build a basic VitePress documentation site from ground up. If you already have an existing project and would like to keep documentation inside the project, start from Step 3.
::: warning
VitePress is currently in `alpha` status. It is already suitable for out-of-the-box documentation use, but the config and theming API may still change between minor releases.
:::
## Step. 1
Create and change into a new directory.
```bash
$ mkdir vitepress-starter && cd vitepress-starter
```
## Step. 2
Initialize with your preferred package manager.
```bash
$ yarn init
```
## Step. 3
Install VitePress.
```bash
$ yarn add --dev vitepress
```
## Step. 4
Create your first document.
```bash
$ mkdir docs && echo '# Hello VitePress' > docs/index.md
```
## Step. 5
Add some scripts to `package.json`.
```json
{
...
"scripts": {
"docs:dev": "vitepress dev docs",
"docs:build": "vitepress build docs",
"docs:serve": "vitepress serve docs"
},
...
}
```
## Step. 6
Serve the documentation site in the local server.
```bash
$ yarn docs:dev
```
VitePress will start a hot-reloading development server at `http://localhost:3000`.
## What's next?
By now, you should have a basic but functional VitePress documentation site.
When your documentation site starts to take shape, be sure to read the [deployment guide](./deploying).
