Create beautiful docs with Markdown & Vue components

Create a new documentation project in seconds:

# Create a new project
npx create-docus my-docs

# Or create with i18n template for multi-language docs
npx create-docus my-docs -t i18n

# Navigate to your project
cd my-docs

# Start development server
npm run dev

That's it! Your documentation site will be running at http://localhost:3000

Start by deploying the docus template and create your git repository directly from Vercel:

Add the Docus MCP server to help you write your documentation faster with LLMs:

my-docs/
├── content/              # Your markdown content
│   ├── index.md         # Homepage
│   └── docs/            # Documentation pages
├── public/              # Static assets
└── package.json         # Dependencies and scripts

Docus uses a layer system, you can go further and use any feature or file of a classical Nuxt project:

my-docs/
├── app.config.ts        # App configuration
├── nuxt.config.ts       # Nuxt configuration (add extra modules, components, etc.)
├── app/                 # App directory
│   ├── components/      # Components (add your own components)
│   ├── layouts/         # Layouts (add your own layouts)
│   └── pages/           # Pages (add your own pages)
└── server/              # Server-side code (add your own server-side code)

Single language structure:

content/
├── index.md
├── getting-started.md
└── guide/
    ├── introduction.md
    └── configuration.md

Multi-language structure (with i18n):

content/
├── en/
│   ├── index.md
│   └── guide/
│       └── introduction.md
└── fr/
    ├── index.md
    └── guide/
        └── introduction.md

Your project comes pre-configured with the best of the Nuxt ecosystem:

• Nuxt 4 - The web framework
• Nuxt Content - File-based CMS
• Nuxt UI - UI components
• Nuxt Image - Optimized images
• Tailwind CSS 4 - Utility-first CSS
• Docus Layer - Documentation theme
