Installation

How to install Docuna

This guide walks you through installing Docuna and running it locally.

1. Install Node.js

Docuna runs on Node.js, so you need it installed first.

Download the LTS version from the official site:

https://nodejs.org/en/download

Install it on your machine using the default options. After installation, you can verify it works by opening a terminal and running:

node -v
npm -v

Both commands should print a version number.

2. Download the Docuna project

Download the Docuna source code from the store:

https://creativitaz.gumroad.com/l/docuna

You will receive a .zip file containing the project.

3. Extract the project

Create a new folder on your desktop and name it docuna. Extract the contents of the downloaded .zip file into that folder.

After extraction, the folder should contain files like package.json, astro.config.mjs, and a src folder.

4. Install dependencies

Open a terminal and navigate to the project folder.

Windows:

cd C:\Users\your-pc-name\Desktop\docuna

Replace your-pc-name with your actual Windows username.

macOS / Linux:

cd ~/Desktop/docuna

Then install the project dependencies:

npm install

This may take a minute or two on the first run. Once it finishes, all required packages will be available locally.

5. Run the development server

Start the local development server:

npm run dev

Open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:4321

You should see the Docuna site running locally. Every time you edit a file, the browser will refresh automatically.

Troubleshooting

• If npm install fails, make sure your Node.js version is 18 or later.
• If port 4321 is already in use, Astro will pick a different port — check the terminal output for the correct URL.
• On Windows, if cd with a path containing spaces fails, wrap the path in quotes.
