## Getting Started
The [ApostropheCMS documentation](https://docs.apostrophecms.org/apostrophe/) will walk you through some simple steps to get your [local environment set up](https://docs.apostrophecms.org/apostrophe/tutorials/getting-started/setting-up-your-environment) with the technology stack that runs ApostropheCMS (Node.js, MongoDB, ImageMagick) along with installing ApostropheCMS itself.
Then [create a new project](https://docs.apostrophecms.org/apostrophe/tutorials/getting-started/creating-your-first-project) on your computer and work on building your beautiful website.
