The Daytona Documentation is developed with Astro and Starlight. Its core architecture leverages React, while documentation content is authored using Markdown (MDX).

Getting Started

Using Daytona (Recommended)

Alternatively, if Node.js or Yarn are installed and set up on your local machine, you can clone this repository and install the required dependencies and configurations:

git clone https://github.com/daytonaio/docs.git
