Installation and Setup

Step 1: Start from Scratch

If you want to create a new Strapi project with the Padma plugin pre-installed, follow these steps:

  1. Run the following command to generate a fresh Strapi backend with the Padma plugin:

    npx padma-backend my-project-backend
  2. Navigate into your newly created project directory:

    cd my-project-backend
  3. Start the development server:

    yarn develop

Your backend will be up and running, complete with the Padma plugin!


Step 2: Use Padma with an Existing Strapi Setup

If you already have a Strapi project and want to integrate the Padma plugin:

  1. Install the Padma backend plugin:

    yarn add padma-backend-plugin
  2. Add the necessary components and configurations to your Strapi setup.

    • Navigate to the Components and Content-Type Builder sections in the Strapi Admin UI.
    • Add the components and content types required by Padma based on its documentation.
  3. Restart your Strapi server:

    yarn develop

The Padma plugin is now installed and ready to use in your existing Strapi setup.


Tips:

  • For detailed customization, refer to the Customization section of the documentation.
  • Ensure you have the latest version of Strapi to avoid compatibility issues.
