Nextra works like a Next.js plugin, and it accepts a theme config (layout) to
render the page. To start: [^3]
 
<Steps>
### Install Next.js, Nextra and React [^1]
 
```sh npm2yarn
npm i react react-dom next nextra
```
 
### Install the docs theme [^2]
 
```sh npm2yarn
npm i nextra-theme-docs
```
 
### Create the following Next.js config and theme config under the root directory
 
```js filename="next.config.js"
const withNextra = require('nextra')({
  theme: 'nextra-theme-blog',
  themeConfig: './theme.config.js'
  // optional: add `staticImage: true` to enable Nextra's auto image import
})
module.exports = withNextra()
```
 
### Create a `theme.config.js` file for the docs theme
 
```js filename="theme.config.js"
/**
 * @type {import('nextra-theme-docs').DocsThemeConfig}
 */
export default {
  project: {
    link: 'https://github.com/shuding/nextra' // GitHub link in the navbar
  },
  docsRepositoryBase: 'https://github.com/shuding/nextra/blob/master', // base URL for the docs repository
  getNextSeoProps: () => ({ titleTemplate: '%s – Nextra' }),
  navigation: true,
  darkMode: true,
  footer: {
    text: `MIT ${new Date().getFullYear()} © Shu Ding.`
  },
  editLink: {
    text: 'Edit this page on GitHub'
  },
  logo: (
    <>
      <svg>...</svg>
      <span>Next.js Static Site Generator</span>
    </>
  ),
  head: (
    <>
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
      <meta name="description" content="Nextra: the next docs builder" />
      <meta name="og:title" content="Nextra: the next docs builder" />
    </>
  ),
  primaryHue: {
    dark: 204,
    light: 212
  }
}
```
