@antora/cli

Antora CLI

The command line interface (CLI) for Antora.

Antora is a modular static site generator designed for making documentation sites from AsciiDoc aggregated from versioned content repositories and processed with Asciidoctor.

To run Antora, you need both the CLI and a site generator pipeline. Once these packages are installed, you can use the antora command to generate your site.

How to Install

Let's start by installing the CLI.

npm install -g @antora/cli

This package adds the antora command to your PATH. You can check by running:

antora -v

Next, install a site generator. The default site generator will be sufficient for most users.

npm install -g @antora/site-generator-default

The antora command (specifically the implicit generate subcommand) will look for this package by default.

How to Use

To run Antora, you'll need a playbook file and at least one content (source) repository. Consult the evaluation quickstart to find an example.

Once you have your content sources set up, just point the antora command at your playbook file:

antora docs-site.yml

The antora command will output the generated site to the build/site folder by default.
