Netlify CMS can run in any frontend web environment, but the quickest way to try it out is by running it on a pre-configured starter site with Netlify. The example here is the Kaldi coffee company template (adapted from One Click Hugo CMS). Use the button below to build and deploy your own copy of the repository:. After clicking that button, you’ll authenticate with GitHub and choose a repository name. Netlify will then automatically create a repository in your GitHub account with a copy of the files from the template. Next, it will build and deploy the new site on Netlify, bringing you to the site dashboard when the build is complete. Next, you’ll need to set up Netlify’s Identity service to authorize users to log in to the CMS.
Follow the Netlify CMS Quick Start Guide to set up authentication, and hosting for production. If you want use Netlify CMS locally, run the site in one terminal with npm run start and in another Terminal you can use npx netlify-cms-proxy-server which proxy requests so you'll be automatically logged in as a user on http:localhost:3000/admin.
