--- ## Deprecation Warning :warning: Hello! We have some news to share, We’ve decided it’ll soon be time to end the support for `strapi`. After years of iterations, Strapi is going to V4 and we won’t maintain V3 packages when it’ll reach its end-of-support milestone (~end of Q3 2022). If you’ve been using `strapi` and have migrated to V4 (or if you want to), you can find the equivalent and updated version of this package at this [URL](https://github.com/strapi/strapi/tree/master/packages/core/strapi) and with the following name on NPM: `@strapi/strapi`. If you’ve contributed to the development of this package, thank you again for that! We hope to see you on the V4 soon. The Strapi team --- Strapi is a free and open-source headless CMS delivering your content anywhere you need. - **Keep control over your data**. With Strapi, you know where your data is stored, and you keep full control at all times. - **Self-hosted**. You can host and scale Strapi projects the way you want. You can choose any hosting platform you want: AWS, Render, Netlify, Heroku, a VPS, or a dedicated server. You can scale as you grow, 100% independent. - **Database agnostic**. You can choose the database you prefer. Strapi works with SQL & NoSQL databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite. - **Customizable**. You can quickly build your logic by fully customizing APIs, routes, or plugins to fit your needs perfectly. ## Getting Started Read the Getting Started tutorial or follow the steps below: ### ⏳ Installation Install Strapi with this **Quickstart** command to create a Strapi project instantly: - (Use **yarn** to install the Strapi project (recommended).
